I agree. It would have to be very something special (like an A code
with a toploader). I have done the rusty cowl routine once on a '67.
It was a supreme pain in the ass and that was in a fully equipped shop
with all the proper tools, a big bay to work in, etc. I don't think I'd
start a restoration on a plain Jane '67 at any price if it had that kind
of rust. It just isn't worth the hassle when there are still so many
clean west coast cars around.
