Joann,
Have you any photos posted anywhere of your Bubble? We have a '57
sitting in the barn in NM that is going to be one of my first projects
once the move from northern NJ is complete. See the folder at:

What (if anything) have you done with the cabinetry in the bubble? I am
informed by another member of the WDCU that the plywood is elm, which of
course is now irreplaceable, and can be matched quite well with ash if
any pieces need replacement or augmentation.
<snip> Do I need two 6V batteries or two 12V's?
One 12 volt will service the load. A second will add more "run time"
but also more weight which must be properly distributed.
> Also, with two 6's would they be hooked up parallel or in series to

Series (fuse block to [+ Battery 1][ - Battery 1] to [+ Battery 2]
[- Battery 2] to commons of loads)
I always get the terms mixed up "parallel & series
Series is + of one battery to - of the next. Battery voltages add up,
ampacities stay the same. Parallel is + of one battery to + of next, -
to -. Ampacities add up, voltages stay the same.
