Broken rails, frame, bolts? SURPRISE!
I'm with Yogi - electrical, mechanical, I'll track it down and fix it (or decide it's too much for me, like my rebuilt engine) - but rust? Not for me. Time to farm it out for sure.

No doubt a PPI would have found it. The rocking chair option was definitely a surprise. I think I have a plan of action. I just need to put a chair back in the cabin and might as well re-install the steering wheel too so I can drive it to a body shop.

Given the time it's spent "seasoning" in water, perhaps you should change the name from Pepper to Sea Salt, and install a Captain's chair and a helm...?

To fix this car, you will need the courage of The Skipper, the good humor of Gilligan, the money of Thurston Howell III, the charm of Marianne, the confidence of Ginger, and the ingenuity of The Professor!

Thanks to @TexSquirrel I've already placed an order for the floorboard and seat support. Waiting for them to let me know how much shipping is going to be on that HUGE floorboard.

The pix in the OP don't look serious at all, comparatively.

But, back on point. If rusted out in one spot there are others...

I'd have to farm this seat track thing out too. Hoping for some repair photos here when its done.
What was the line from Risky Business, "who's the U boat captain?"
