I'm sorry you took my comments the wrong way.
Haven't seen you post here much. I should have said it differently, but you'll see that most of us here are pretty fair mechanics, but body work is not our forté. i.e. a lot of us are looking for a better body.

I'm in the east as well, and rust has proven to be cruel companion. I'm about to bring mine to a shop where I will remove the front fenders and do the surgery, and a friend will weld in new inner fenders, and I will reinstall better fenders. This, before the front shakes itself loose (not really, but you know what I mean)

Is your 122 in NJ or Vermont? Where are you in NJ? There's a body at Jay's (Yankee Trading) in Easton, PA. that might be obtainable, but not certain of condition.

I really think you're better off getting something out west. Anything back here in acceptable condition is going to cost more than something in better condition out west. just my 2cents.
