After looking at your pictures, I tend to agree with Marlin on doing the frame off. You get into the, what do you change, and what do you try to save dilema.
The hole in the outer lobe of the firewall could be alot of things. It could have been a rust spot that they cut out to keep from spreading. They may have cut it out to get air in there for drying purposes, or they may have dropped something down the cowl, and just decided to hack it open to retrieve what they dropped. Some folks do crazy stuff. You might want to put on qtrs rather than scab on patches as I would think the outer wheelhouse may be rusted also. If you have rust under the tail light panel, you may need to replace that tail pan too. Overall she looks pretty nice. Those front frame mt bushings show me they were'nt kidding about the 7k miles.
