You asked a while back about taking off the front fenders. If you have done so, you will see that the top of the fender sits on a ledge, which is a favorite spot for rust to hide.
Also pop off the 6 or so round plastic plugs, about 3" in diameter, along the inner side of the rocker panel area. Get a penlight and a small adjustable mirror and have a good look in there. Pull the upholstery off the sides panels of the back seat and poke around there as well. You can see into the trunk and down to the rear fender lip with the aforementioned penlight and mirror, another favorite spot. Finally along the back of the trunk area, where the gas filler neck comes in, there is a semi-blind panel with wiring running through it. Again inspect with the penlight and mirror.

Good luck. I'm with Paul. If what you showed us is the worst of it, I would take the shell in a hot minute.

Cheers,
