Default Need help looking at a car

Hey guys,
this is a little off-topic, but I need to find someone in far south CA to go look at a car for me that I am considering buying. It is a 67 Chevelle wagon that I am considering making my next daily driver resto-mod project. I am only interested in confirming that the sheetmetal, especially the rear quarters and roof/rear window area, is rust free and not full of bondo.
If anyone is near the Chula Vista area, and can go look at the car for me, I would appreciate it
If I had the time to take off work, I would just go out there with my trailer and inspect it and drag it home, but the pressures of my new job just won't let me.

Regards, John McGraw

I live about 30 minutes from Chula Vista and would be happy to help. I'm not a Chevelle expert, but I can tell you if it's a bondo baby and if it has a good VIN. Call me or send a PM.
