Style, the easyest I would say would be a t bucket or an A because every thing is pretty much open and readly avalible.

Surface rust is ok but when you get in to cancer you have to look at how hard it would be to replace it, are body panels avalbile for that spot, and as for price it just depends on what yer lookin at, how badly you want it and the condition, like my galaxie, I paid 400 bucks for it and drove it home, the car is worth, last time I looked 4000 bucks, but theres a nasty cancer spot on the rear 1/4, no big deal I can get a replacment for 80 bucks, but the front fender is smashed, torn and wearing an inch of bondo, you cannt buy that panle new so I have to take the time to fix it, and its gonna take a while, All in all I got a good deal on this car. Thats what you have to look at, when I get this am I gonna beable to fix the body and keep it below book value, I say the body cause there's no way of keepin the car below value once you start playing and tweaking it, Like I said earlyer, my galaxie is worth 4000 bucks, I have 5000 into the engine allown
