Can make it into winter and w/e projects, and still enjoy the car in most of the summer months. Will take longer but should be able to do a fender patch in a w/e. Or a cheater quarter over a couple weekends. Body work panel by panel drive it in primer. If 2/3 of the wheel well are good replace the bad 1/3rd. If the trunk floor is solid blast off the surface rust and spray it with por 15. Car doesn't look that bad to me. Take a look at what mine looked like! This was my first frame off, was not easy, and yes I have lots of tools but think many people with ambition can do it. I have said it before this site is a wealth of knowledge all willing to help. Best of all its free. Take a couple college classes or do some reading and tear it up! Have to throw this in. My friend with the cutlass went to a show in one of our most expensive subarbs. His quote "I dont think I will go back there... bunch of rich guys with big bellies hardly fit in the cars, and none of em knew a thing about them". There was also something about them not knowing how to turn a screw driver too.
