Califorina car is why it might have minimal rust, Looks like a great project car like you said. Keep us informed as you go.

looks good , it should make a nice one :)

Looks real solid, nice find. Don't see many early chevelle's. Great body style.

Looks very nice ,hang on to that Cali plate as some folks pay dearly for those . And we need even more pics when you get time .

Welcome my friend!

Interested in seeing the progress you make on it.
