That looks like a staggeringly good shell.

Thanks, the only problem I saw rust wise was the bottom of the
battery box. That will be replaced. The previous owner had jacked
the car up using the floor boards so will need to straighten that out
and a few bumps around the passenger side turn light. I'm tickled that
it is a really good frame. The sub frames are also rust free :) will get some
pics as soon as it gets blasted then will powder coat.

My car lived most of it's life in the high desert of Utah, US.
Very dry and fortunately not a lot of salt on the roads.
