Funny, you describe yours as a garbage pail & it sounds like a decent car, I paid quite a bit more for the 73 , it looked decent on the outside, but I worked on everything you mentioned, plus fender patches, home made cowl patches(both sides behind the front wheels) and a few on the roof, you got the deal of the century there, get some progress pics up, always like the before & after stuff myself, don't think about the money(it will be a lot) just do a little at a time, it don't hurt so much & don't add up the bills till your done, sticker shock is best taken when you have a beautiful car to look at! ;DRich.
