New to A-Bodies

Hi Everyone. I should say that we do not own an A-Body yet but have been looking at a few and plan to buy within the week. Most of my experience is with Ford but am not really tied to one camp. My wife and I are looking at 64-66 Dodge Darts mostly. Our budget is pretty small so our selection is slim. One we looked at today was pretty nice except that the driver's side floor pan is toast and there is some decent rust on the driver's side cowl at the windshield. I know this was common on early Mustangs so am curious if this is a similar situation. Was wondering if this is a difficult area to patch considering there aren't aftermarket pieces.

Going to look at a 66 Dart GT tomorrow that was a barn find. Most of it looks pretty good via pics but we will see tomorrow. Anyway, glad to be a part of the forum. Seems like a lot of great people and information here.
