Default Buying 68 Chevelle

I am thinking of buying a 68 Chevelle, I have my eye on a couple, where should I look for rust other than the regular places?
Thanks

I would look:
1.) Under the battery tray.
2.) Front fenders, behind the wheel.
3.) Across door bottom. Often in the corners.
4.) In front/behind the rear wheels.
5.) Inner rear wheel wells.
6.) Trunk pans/ trunk pan to rear panel.
7.) Floor pans, often under rear seat.
8.) Rockers.
9.) Lower windshield/rear glass channel.

Keep and eye out for Frame rust and cracks above and just forward of the rear axel housing too.
