Good luck with it.

you are taking in a major build compared to mine and I thought I was crazy!no offense meant!I love to see someone save oneyou have a long road ahead of you and please keep us posted with picks.the pic of the cowl to windshield rust is what I'm gonna tackle this winter,but again mine is bad but not that bad.everything is repairable

Foo,
Good luck with the project. I predict you will be very good at welding when you are finished. Are you doing a frame-on or frame-off resto?
I did my floors frame on. I replaced the pan and one floor support brace. I used goodmark panels that fit very nice. The installation will come out very clean with large pieces. From underneath, you can hardly tell they were replaced.

Awesome job on those floor pans.

You would be way ahead to start with a car with less rust.
