Need some help from a rust guru!
When you talked about getting the car back together and getting it on the road and putting things back together in my mind I thought you were going in the wrong direction. This is your dream car that it needs to be done right. with that said I would be blowing it all apart every last nut and bolt... Fixing all the body work from the inside and getting the body perfect. Even up into sandblasting or like they're saying glass beading. Get an epoxy coat on the body itself and then start doing the suspension which is probably all rotted anyways. Then work your way up to the fenders the interior and finally the motor and transmission. If this is the one then this is the one.do it right the first time or you'll never be satisfied... My-2
