You''d be better spending money on your shell... You will find your going to probably go to the same effort whatever shell you get. Afterall, metal can always be replaced and it seems sacreligious to scrap a shell due to rust.
My shell has alot of rust/rot in places but if your serious about rebuilding a car from shell up then its something that comes with the territory i'm afraid.
PS. I am currently cutting up my CQ shell for spare panels for my shell. I will double check what I need but for a small fee to cover cutting bits out I can supply most areas needed. Shell is (bare the rear panel) pretty much rust free and was cut up due to rear quarter damage and the need for spare sections for my WR shell.
