Yammer,
I restored a 70 GP Model J about 6 years ago.
Took 3 years of pretty steady work to to do a complete frame-on restoration.
I live in Iowa - had the usual Midwest rust on quarter panels, fenders, rear window corners & inner fender wells. They do make patch panels now for some of the panels I had to fabricate. Cost me about as much in just materials
as the car was worth. I did all the work myself except upholstery. If you're going to do it it's a labor of love - you won't make money restoring a low option 69 or 70 Grand Prix. I am very happy with the way car came out - it's a blast to drive and I still have it.
