I assume it was a catalyzed primer that seals the metal from the elements. You could have the panels shot with a semi gloss final coat (think Rat Rod, or not). Go put old red together and drive it.
You get the most out of what you have done to date. You can, when things are more secure and the finances allow, do the teardown and final body and paint work. This also lets you go fix or change any of those little things that you decide are not to your liking.

I was thinking along the same lines. Get the metal work repaired, put it in primer and assemble and drive it for a while.
