Thanks guys for your comments. It's been a slow, but rewarding project.
I've got only one more thing to do on it when it's not really yucky outside and that's to do a quick underhood clean and then put on the new hood insulation. But the rest of the car is done.
I picked up this little exhaust pipe (air injection for the catalytic convertor) that isn't being fed at the engine end (the belt is removed from the air pump, and has been for years), but was probably causing an exhaust leak underneath, so for $15 I got the last one they had on Rock Auto. The little U-bolt clamp was already down to one stud and the other broke when I tried to remove it. So I welded new threads onto it and - there, I fixed it.
Also polished up and painted the hub caps. They look gooder now.
So now it's time to find a new home for it.
