The body is actually in a lot better shape than that picture would indicate. The driver's side in that one section is actually the worst on the vehicle. It's going to take a lot of sheet metal work in that one area, since that's where is was sitting lowest. The passenger side actually doesn't need much beyond the rear floor, and the frame all around until you get to that one point is itself pretty decent. We've been able to manipulate the car on jacks and blocks pretty easily without anything bending. Right now its rear is elevated to put most of the weight on the front tires and sitting on blocks. Sitting like that my doors still open and close without a hitch.

After that frame section dropped out, being 26 and restoring one of my dream cars, I went into quite a panic, but once i was able to get inside and really see what I had to work with I calmed down.

That being said, I know I have to be fully prepared to eat those words, since I've been working on cars long enough to know I can miss things, and rust never sleeps. My sheet metal skills are good, but I can't work a miracle if it needs one.
