how bad is bad ?

man, nice car, but that could get very expensive. i have walked away from less. even big block b bodies. if you are prepared to basically rebuild the car, and have the cash ,it CAN be fixed. if you have the skills and a complete rust free parts car, then i would say go for it. having it blasted first of course, would give you a better idea of exactly how bad it is, but it looks ugly from here. frame rails are one thing but the cowl and door jam areas would all have to be rebuilt and/or replaced. i would take everything usable off of it and find you a nicer foundation. people called me crazy for spending 3000 bucks on a 6 cylinder duster, but the body is 99% rust free and am enjoying building it the way i want to.
