So, I had a little time so I started cleaning up a rear fender well. After a good run with a wire wheel and some greased lightening I realized that the underbody has been coated with a undercoat of some sort. Seems pretty heavy duty as wire wheel won't remove it. My question is, since I plan on making this an everyday driver car and planned on some type of good undercoat, should I remove all this just to go back with another?

I did. And it was a nightmare. You may find rust under it. Nothing bad but there non the less. It peels loose and it is under the edges in places. It did its job well but it is 50 years old almost.
I used a torch and a scraper.

Hey guys, I have found a craigslist post for a 68 chevelle front clip(pictured below) I dont have a front bumper, grill, headlights, bezels, my core support is also in rough shape. I cant tell by pic if that is a SS hood, (which I want to swap to) My header panel also needs replacing. Does this look like it would be worth $200 and a 2 hour trip.

Looks like a flat stock hood and not an SS one.

That front license plate mount is a very hard to find part ,probably worth 1/2 or more of what he is asking for all of it .If the fenders are solid they are worth more than the asking price alone ,again very hard to find 68 stuff.

I have found a 95 chevy truck 5.7 with a 700r trans for $500. Trans was rebuilt, motor runs (can hear) but according to this guy it needs a rod bearing. How would this work out for a drivetrain swap. What all is involved in keeping fuel injection.

95' would be a low performance TBI engine. I would pass. Ideally, you need to find a 4.8 or 5.3 out of a 2000 or newer GM truck, SUV, or van. I've seen complete vehicles fairly cheap with accident damage - making a great donor vehicle.
