Mine was a rust bucket I moved my family and the project twice due to building a new home.
I used Por15 on my frame after derusting it. I replaces floor pans and quarters and got used fenders hood and decklid.
I cut the rust out of both my doorskins and welded in patches.
I vote for #3 basically what I did over 8 years...
