YES.. My beloved "Buffy" the California Halloween convertible still has her shakers on all four corners. Her rockers are very nice, her tunnel is nice, all frame points are solid, still has original paint on her pans and splatter in her trunk. (Sorry, after rereading that it sounds kind of funny.)
Anyway, the only areas of rust, which I sent pics to you Tom... p/s fender lower corner (typical), p/s lower door strike (likely from inside to out), p/s rear exterior pan. I would also recommend patching the p/s rear 1/4 due to dents; d/s rear 1/4 either pull the dents or patch... but the metal for both is good. (I have patches that go with it.)
There will be other small holes or dents that need addressing (I sent pics), and there may be more uncovered that I don't see once you strip/media blast but I'm not expecting much. Structurally...shes very sound.
Remember that she's only been in Wisconsin for the past 3 years. Otherwise she's spent her entire life out in California or Arizona. Shes 42 years old (born Oct 31, 1968.) She's not new, she will need work. But thats half the fun of a restoration, right?
