Looks like a fun project that will surely hone your welding and body repair skills!

 

Rockers and floor pans are available on ebay...usually either from Thailand or Greece. I've ordered parts from both areas and have had good service. Shipping is a bit pricey, though.

Can of worms.

 

Rust repair is a steep learning curve, but very gratifying work. It's messy, there's always a lot of layers that you can't see that need to be repaired, getting the welding right without burning through and learning how to account for and fix the resulting warpage. Then if the body has been sitting on rusted body mounts for years, it's likely the body sagged. Like I said... can of worms.
