List:
Well the $500.00 B/E has had its first Physical Exam and here are my initial (SOAP -Subjective Objective Assessment Plans) findings.
S. Surface rust over 20 % of the body, fiberglass patch on gas tank bondo on the boot. Missing badges, overiders, heater, seats, backing/plate lamp and mount, 2 hubcaps and ignition switch. T=92 P=0 RR=0 mm=red tires hold air.
O. The bonnet rust out on the valence and left fender area near the attachment of the left fender. Lower A post rust. Sills, and fenders are solid after paint removal. Boot has a dent and was poorly repair with filler. Motor was rebuilt before the car was parked, but has not been turned over in a number of years
A. The bonnet is the most difficult item to repair.

P. Do I:
a. Remove the fender (how?) and mig weld in a repair piece along with a new valence (~$390) and beading ($ 45) or
b. Remove the beading and remove the rust and lead shave the mig welded repair and replace the valence.
c. Buy a fiberglass walker bonnet(~$1475) or an original ($$$$) and sell the original
d. Keep it. buy a fiberglass bonnet (~$1475)or original ($$$) and repair it as time permits.
My initial budget is an additional $4000 to $6500 over the next year and I will do all the mechanical work, painting and I will document it. I would like to have a nice sporty driver when completed. I will need to do all the body work and replace mechanicals as required, paint, chrome and put on 5 new tires. Can it be done?
Your inputs would be greatly appreciated. Living in Ca I've never really had to deal with this much rust on a project car!
