Woddy, et al, thanks so much for the information. It looks more complicated than I thought. I was hoping to have the body off and dipped at a local restoration facility and then do the patch panel work on clean metal but Woody has the right idea to ensure that the alignments stay correct so that's what I should do I guess. I'll see what the floorboards look like when I get it cleaned out and see how bad it really is. I definately have to do the pillar areas so If it's more than I can do myself I may have the experts atthe resto facility do it for me. Big $ is the limiting factor...
Thanks for all the advice and help.
