where to start with all this rust?
I have purchased a 66 conv. I have stripped it and am now starting to replace everything that has rust. I plan on using a roteserie so I thought I would start in the frontend, (I need a good place to hook up the roteserie). I have replaced the drivers side front rail and the shock tower. Now I think I should have started in the center? any order I should know about?

I don't know of any particular order but you want to be careful cutting out large sections of floorpan because the car will sag. You can avoid this by making or buying braces to go in the door area. If you have to cut the radiator support, same thing. Post pics!
