here is a link to my project, its a 1978 Trans Am that my father-in-law parked in the early to mid 80's could even be as fgar back as 1982 (when we remember him buying a new Trans Am,. but he left it there until he past away a few years ago and we brought it home and this is the update so far.. just got paint, needs to get decals in a month or so and so more cosmetic stuff.

Doesn't look too bad in the pictures. Did you seal the rusted areas with anything or just sand and primer over it?
