Scott that is a great start ... the body looks quite good on the outside, just those little items on the passenger rear quarter. you going to shave those side markers off / getting rid of the holes on the sides? looks better without the side markers.

Yep. Side markers, and front left side antenna will be gone. Wheel arches rolled
 
Did you close the side marker holes?
Just will bring that up on that early point.

Those will be done as part of the overall body work.

The photos don't show some of the issues.

Key things that will need to be addressed are:

Rockers. The outer rocker pieces been removed on the right side (I did that months ago), and the surface rust on the middle rocker has been addressed. We need to do the same on the left side.

Front floor pans. The passenger side floor pan and a portion of the trans tunnel need to be replaced from the set cross member forward.

Package tray speaker holes. The PO provided a replacement panel salvaged from a car that was scrapped, so they need to use that to patch the giant rough speaker holes in the package tray.

Side markers. The front and rear side marker holes will be filled.

Antenna hole. This will be filled. In today's digital world, there is really no reason for a radio. I'll put one in, but any music will probably be played from my phone through the stereo.

Right rear mid quarter. You can see in the photos that there is some minor panel damage on the right rear quarter, forward of the wheel well, and a dent above that just below the rear side window.

Many ripples along the doors. There are a number of small door dings, right along the "character line" that runs down the sides of the car. Those will be worked out, and smoothed.

It looks like there's a bit of work to do on the lower rear area below the bumper.

And I'll have them roll the wheel arches for the larger wheels.

So still quite a lot to do, but starting from a good place.
