Nice project. In Ohio, we'd call that "minimal rust." It barely registers on the Sockington scale.

What's with the autozone chrome on the bottom of the driver's door?

drat if it barely registers on the Sockinton scale I'm in luck (so far)!

That autozone chrome was actually part of the Dart GT trim, except on my car they didn't think to put the third one back (that goes on the front fender), and they can be pretty expensive for what it is. There are supposed to be 3 on each side. I found one here in Sweden to buy for the front left side for about $30 excluding shipping, but I'll see if I can find a set first if I decide to buy.

With the amount of chromed stuff on old cars I got the feeling I'll be getting arthritis in my fingers from all the polishing, but then again it often comes up really nice even if it looks like poo poo at the beginning.

I'll be damned. I looked up some pics and saw the missing piece on the fender. I don't think I've ever seen that setup, and I've looked at muscle cars for decades...

And polishing chrome is rewarding, so enjoy it!
