If either, consider the '37's. The model a bones are really thin compared to the later ones.

Not trying to make any decision for you, but just an observation about early versus late bones.

Also, you don't want to just drill the bones and leave bare holes. The correct way to do it is slip a piece of correct size tubing into the holes, weld them in place, and grind smooth. Otherwise, they are weaker, and water gets trapped inside.

While I like the looks of drilled bones, I personally don't do it, as I feel it weakens them, and they aren't all that big to start with. But if you must, this is the way to do it.

Thanks Don.......... yup, I alway's put tubeing back in to bring a little more strength back into them.
