I got the 66 Galaxie rusty frame blues!?!

I got the bright idea over this winter to remove the drivetrain and suspension from my car and clean and paint the underneath. I had heard this was a problem but my car was rust free and even after I removed the under coating it looked great. Upon closer inspection I found a couple of very small pin holes in bottom of the frame about at the front of the drivers side door and I got my pecking hammer out and these pin holes quickly turned into big holes in about a 12" length on both sides of the car. Bummer.It is rusted from the inside out. I was hoping to get by without removing the frame, but after trying to repair it I have decided to get another frame. I ordered one from Desert Valley Auto Parts(www.dvap.com) out of Arizona.They say they will guarantee rot and collision free parts. I was hoping to have my 428CJ w/new TKO 5 speed back in the car by now but it looks like it is going to be a long spring and maybe summer.
