Old Man with a Hat
From what it looks like from Central Florida, I think the best way to find out all the problems up front is to strip the entire car down to the bare body, including removing the stub frame and either media blast it or ideally dip it into a chemical tank to see what remains that can be worked with. There looks to be a lot of areas that appear solid but my be "punky" and impossible to weld to.
