I just placed an order for $700 bucks worth of metal to repair the few bad areas after the stripping (rear quarter patches, tail panel, front and rear window bottoms, and right side rocker). I plan on using Por-15 on the bottom of the body, the interior floor, and the frame. The underside of the body and wheel wells will get a bed liner type material after the Por-15 as well. Anyone have any different suggestions?

Check to make sure the Por-15 can be topcoated with the bed liner material you describe. Por 15 cannot be topcoated with paint products unless you use the tie bond product over it. (I forget the exact name) Some people (including me) do not like to cover the metal with underbody coatings because if you get rust you can't see it before it's too late. Just something to consider. An expoy primer/paint will work just as well as the Por 15, and if you have the equipment will cost less as well. Por 15 is a good product, but during my resto I think it's overrated. Lots of debate on the product in the forums. Again, don't go crazy on the metal patch panels. Lots of rusted areas can be repaired w/o panel replacement and your car's line will be far better.
