Thanks all for the responses! I had watched that video and about fainted because they are like "look how easy it is when it's on a rotisserie" which I certainly won't have.

I agree the rot looks pretty minor compared to what I see in other threads. I am inclined to buy the parts from Restoration Design (which was SUPER responsive to inquiry by the way - they must be under new ownership or something) and cut out what we need from them for patch panels without replacing the whole pans. We'll see I guess when the shop starts cutting away.

The shop I mentioned above is only a few miles from my house and he's agreed to swing by after hours later this week to check it out so I don't have to get it towed in.

Resale shouldn't probably be a huge factor as I took my wife to prom in this car 16 years ago and I don't plan on it leaving the family. We just cut out the sunroof and bonded in the FennLane delete panel, plus it is not numbers matching, so originality isn't all that important here.
