help: flywheel/clutch
So today I had some time to work on the '66 and get the T5z back in. I was having more trouble than usual today and found out I had a busted pilot bearing. So i took off the bellhousing and clutch. Only to find what I think is more damage...
My clutch(flywheel side) looks like its been beaten up and my flywheel looks worse than what it feels. When i rub my finger/nail on the flywheel I can barely feel anything close to nothing. What do you guys with experience think from the pics.?

ya im not sure if its fine to slap it all back together and drive or if needs to get resurfaced. im not even sure if it can be resurfaced. this is my main vehicle i drive so i was hoping to get some responses by now so i can correct any errors asap and get it back on the road.

IMO, if it was in my shop, I'd be pulling the FW for a grind (heat checking and scratch damage) and R&R the PP and disc. While you can do some on the car abrading to the FW, you stand a big chance in the creation of chattering if you don't get it uniform.
Don't forget about a new pilot bearing and frankly, while its apart- new T/O Bearing as well.

So I went to a local tranny shop to see what they would advise me. They told me the pressure plate looked fine, the disc should get replaced, and the flywheel can still be used since the scratches are so light you can almost feel nothing, but if I didn't feel comfortable I can replace. I asked if the flywheel can be resurfaced and they said it can but I would probably run into vibration problems since resurfacing may weaken the flywheel. Any thoughts?
Also, when replacing the disc do I need to get the same brand/modle as the last or can my pressure plate work with other disc(s)? I have a McLeod Super StreetPro Clutch Kit.
