Spent a few hours working on the GTO again last night. I removed the HVAC box on the firewall, to which I was curious to know what horrors lie beneath. The car has a bunch of rust on the inside of the cabin on the side kick panels (just in front of the doors), so I thought the cowl where the heater box resides would also be complete toast. Fortunately, it's not that bad. It'll need some work, but there is a lot of usable metal remaining.

The less good news, however, is that I found a lot of rust at the base of the a-pillars . I'd say this is not altogether unexpected, but it was the first time during this project that I removed something and wasn't pleasantly surprised by what I found underneath. I've seen my body guy tackle far worse, but it looks scary to me. I'd be curious to hear experiences from others here regarding this type of repair.
