Clearly, just buying a new car is the most logical choice. This project has
some history. I owned this car when I was in high school, I've rolled it, I've
"restored" it once. I sold it, I went to see a car, it was my old one, and I
bought it back for the same price I sold it for. Unfortunately, I realized too
late that the car is largely rust and Great Stuff insulation.
So for ignorance and sentimental reasons, I figured on going forward. Two years
ago, I bought the panels. Every time I got ready to cut the car, something came
up - mother in law with cancer, divorce, refinancing the house so I didn't have
to move. Anyway, I need to fix the car. It's a piece of junk, but I want to get
it on the road.
I am not restoring it, I want it sturdy and driveable. I plan on rattlecans for
paint. I own almost all of the parts needed, so the cost has been paid.
For those who have done significant panel replacement, do you have any
suggestions on how to proceed?

You have just exposed the basis of Spridgetdom.
Rather than buy a good car for X, buy a car that needs everything for a
fraction
of X and spend the difference, plus more money getting it to somewhere close to
the first car.

But what the heck, waiting for a "better" tub kinda takes the funout of things.
Doesn't it. :)
