thanks, and dont have to worry about me giving up. I have to much time into the chassis to just give up now.
Update (2-22-12)
So i had to fix a water leak around the top of the windshield on my 93 Camry, turned to be more a job then i anticipated. Cut of the rusted metal, made a replacement panel, did some finishing touches and fixed the previous hail damage and my dad did the paintwork. check some of the pics.

I do work in a body shop daily, but we have a full repair shop and I mainly do mechanical work. the car was actually a 65 Buick riviera. was my uncles but he recently sold it.
very nice man, i'm planning on doing the same thing to one of my spare shells once i get a place to do it.
Glad to see you're bringing it back to life, and the correct way too!!!
Mad props!
Also lemme know if you need any parts, i have a whole bunch of spares and a whole extra car, i'd be more than happy to help out a fellow new englander.
