Thanks guys, all the complements are appreciated.
Ctrow, its been in paint for about 4 months or so. Has moved along pretty quickly....i cant complain.
As for rust it did have its fair share, kickpanels, front/rear window, driver door and on the firewall behind the passenger side hood hinge. its all been replaced and as a bonus I was able to learn a few things about rust repair and bodywork along the way.
Here's some more pics of the frame after about a week of action with a wire wheel attached to a drill and scotch brite pads. Dont remember if I said it in earlier posts but i rebuild the front end and added disc brakes while it was torn apart. Also replaced the carrier bearing and serviced the tranny.
