69 Valiant - Rookie

Welcome, glad to see another guy with another 69 Valiant 100 here. Looks like you are off to a good start!. Very glad you fixed the spring problem the correct way. Much better.
If you want to keep that floor rust at bay forever.. check out POR 15 products. With that little rust I wouldn't worry about replacing floorpans.. it's much worse here in the middle of the US and gets worse as you head east.. that scale is nothing!
If you want to make a major apperance difference and the budget is tight.. consider doing as much prep work yourself and painting it white.. mine was much worse than yours and it was amazing what a $300 96 Chrysler Bright White paint job did for it. (1990 dollars). One of the easiest colors to match, hides less than perfect body work well. Only problem is is seems everybody re-doing these has a Jones for white just lately!
Looking forward to seeing your progress.. I can use all the inspiration I can get!
