Default My new project

Hi, I am new to the forum and recently have started on new project. I found a '67 in California that is 2 owner car and has been garaged for the past 18 years. The car is pretty clean with some minor rust in the lower windshield area, lower and partial side rear window area, and lower rear quarters. I'll post some pictures of what I am starting with. I plan on taking the body off the frame and getting it blasted, if I can find someone near me (its hard to find anything in Altus, Ok). After the blasting i guess that I will start the body work. I already have ideas on fixing around the windows, but the rear quarters have me somewhat undecided on the best way to fix. The rust is just in the bottom of the quarter behind the moldings, but both sides have some bondo (one area has about 1/4 inch thick patch and the other has about 1/8 inch) that I wonder if I should replace the metal in those areas as well or try to hammer out the low areas and re-smooth with filler. This is my first resto and I would like to do it right and once. Pictures below and I don’t know who decided in this cars past to paint it root beer brown!!

edit: Excuse the dirty garage, the floor is excellent including the trunk and I forgot the tail panel has a little rust by the light.
