Thanks for all your encouragement and feedback.  When she's done, I'm planning on Midnight Blue (Metallic), with Twin Rally Strips (Pure White) across the back Quarter Panels and Trunk Lid.  Hopefully, I'll have the Fenders back today.

I was lucky that the Rockers, and Quarter Panels were untouched ( thank you ).  The one thing I did find was a 2" section on the Passenger Rocker that did rust through, so I've considered cutting out and replacing the entire Rocker, instead I think I'll try to tack in some fresh sheet metal first.  I'll snap some pictures when I start that.  Thanks again for all the great encouragement and support.  You guys rock...

No, YOU rock. Grin It's looking great, and you're making a lot more progress than I am. It's awesome to see a good car saved instead of scrapped.

Wow thats a pretty rust free car I own a 68 GT and my bodies full of holes lol but it's got a solid frame and floors and no rust in the roof or around the windows so it should be a good project.

Looking good, good luck with er and keep us updated.
