Tailgate, aftermarket vs. fix the existing

Hey. Just wondering about the general consensus about whether it is worth doing significant work on an existing tailgate vs. just buying an aftermarket tailgate. In my case, the existing tailgate has some heavy bondo areas that would have to be cut out and replaced with new metal, perhaps some seams split and rewelded, and some hammer and dolly work to improve the definition on a couple of the letters. Also, in my case I am aiming to restore this truck as it was originally (all of the original stuff is there including the 283 4spd, etc). Also, opinions on how having an aftermarket tailgate affects the value of the vehicle. (the truck is totally frame off at the moment...every bolt). Thanks!
