Would love some advice

Don't be afraid of the quarters, be afraid that the quarters will cause you to say...Well, now that I got the quarter off and can see that the rockers look scuzzy, it would be easiest to replace them now instead of later. THEN, it would be a travesty to have that trunk pan welded to those new trunk extensions............Ya know, it would suck to put paint on there only to find the lower door corners bubbling after a year, might as well open those up to get a peek-see.

I know it. I think, this weekend I am going to strip that whole quarter to see what I am really working with.

If let's say the quarter is in good shape, minus what is obviously bad, can I just shoot some rattle can primer on the bare metal until I get all the metal replaced, to prevent from flash rusting?

The plan is to strip all the old paint off everything to be sure there are no other problem areas and then epoxy prime it all and then 2k and block sand. I just don't know exactly how long that will take.
