Well I met with Aaron this afternoon. I tell you I really enjoyed seeing all the cars in his shop. We got under a 70s era car on a lift and he pointed out some areas where I need to check for rust to help determine what we are in for.
When I took the pics I have, I went looking for rust and shot what I found. So either I missed it or it is not there. I'll get complete shots of the rocker panels and inside the wheel wells this week.
I am including some additional pics below.
Thanks dhagood for pointing out that a repair to a 20 year old car may not have been executed with the same care one would take on a 40 year old car simply because of the rarity. I did not think of it from that perspective, but I can see your (and Grady's) point now.
Anyway here are some of the pics I shared with Aaron.
From behind.

Engine right:
Front view. Spare parts and bits and pieces stored here. And look, the tool kit is present!
Gas heater (with mouse)
Passenger side hood strut
Drivers side hood strut. This side had the fender repaired after wreck in '75
Battery box. Not sure if repairs done here were result of collision or corrosion.
Interior. Yes, mold on the seats.
Gauges. That's 48,376 original miles.
