Nice you are saving it from eventual rust death. Did you get a quote for the sandblasting, welding and undercoating? What material(s) will they be using for the undercoat?

On my 86 I bought a welder for 800 and did it myself. The ease and timeframe are TONS better the route you are going. My only benefit is that I still have the welder. I also had to weld in the floors from front to back on the drivers side and the knock outs on the passenger. Yours is looking good.I am so glad you are not just throwing the car out and scrapping it in favor of one more clean. IMHO too many people are doing that today.
where I am from those look like clean fenders
Are the carpets new, new or used new? Hard to tell from the pic. Who sells new carpeting?
