Default Going to look at a 66 Catalina Convertible, any advice on what to look for?

Hi,

Like the title says, I'm going to look at a 66 Catalina Convertible this weekend. I have owned a number of classics over the years and I *generally* know what to look for (bondo in the fenders and quarters, floor and trunk pans, frame issues), but is there anything specific to these cars that I need to check? Is there any specific spot the frames are known to rot? Kickups in front of the rear axle like others? I've never owned a convertible. Is there anything specific I should be looking at there?

I am taking a friend along as a 2nd set of eyes to make sure I don't miss anything.

Thanks in advance for any advice you can provide!
