Or is the "tub" generally designed to pretty much stay together as one piece? Obviously, and as shown by the floor replacement, anything can be cut out and re-welded in. But on most cars, there is a clear and definite seam where the quarter panels are welded to the body. (or are there?)


2) As a suggestion to projects of this magnitude(not nessesarily this one, but projects like it), a tube frame could be made and given to it. (This suggestion actually ties in with my question above.)

This would probably save time, energy, and money---if you can live with the rust. It would probably not come out as nice, but it would get you rolling much faster(possibly) and still be structurally safe.
I took a bumch of pics just for you, If a person just wanted to shop, and reweld you can, but I am not responsible for the structurtal loss that this causes, in order to section a pillar properly one must layer the cuts. in other words, each section cut at a different spot. Then a fishp[late should go behind and spotted through then welded. more complex than most ppl think. I am a frim believer in doing it right. You will see in the pics how complex it is actually to section.
