I have a decision to make but unsure of the way forward. Would you guys rather start with a nearly complete car with hidden rust that may have to be tore down and fixed or a car that is ONLY a shell with little rust to repair? Help me make the best decision and thanks in advance.

Doing that now. A shell swap. Its a lot of work. What also happens, is that you get a component off, then you are compelled to clean and paint it. which adds a lot of time. You also look at some rusty items and replace them. Off to work on it.

That is called Dirk Wright's Disease. You get it from being bitten by the tinworm. |
