Lookin good!
About the undercoating, POR 15 is some quality stuff, if you go slow w/ the roller and don't saturate it it should stay out of your eyes too,lol. Perhaps you can roll the large areas and spray the ones that are hard to get to?

So, I just thought of something. In the next couple of weeks, I'll be receiving $2500, most of which I plan on using on the car. What do you guys think the odds are of finding a wrecked or rusty TII with a running engine and good drivetrain for around $1000-1500 are? It would be great to buy a complete TII donor and swap all the guts into this car.

I've located a running TII with a Racing Beat exhaust and a Koyo radiator about 6 hours away for $1300. He says the engine may need a rebuild, something I planned on doing anyway. If I get my money before it sells, I might have to make a road trip. The body looks ot be in good shape too, so I should have no problem selling it as a roller once I take everything I want. I'm getting pumped!!
