and bolt on pre 67 guards, bonnet etc? or is their more to it?

Yes it can be done....I had a 69 Baja. I welded an early front and rear sections back on and then bolted on all the early guards and bonnet etc. I
found it easiest to make new cuts half way through where the fuel tank sits so most of the welded areas were out of sight, and it required the least
amount of welding
