Ouch, ditch that diamond pleat! .....Other than the few holes in the floor...whats wrong with it? first thing I would do is get a DA with some 80 grit and go to town, then buy a case of black primer spray paint from Walmart and rattle can it to get it one color and protect it from future rust. Will show up the body dings too for future filling. I can't look at cancer like that, reminds me of all the cars I got now with crappy factory water color paint and pealing clear coat. Cut and weld in new 18g floor patches, beat 'em flat and paint with POR15. They are gonna be covered in jute and carpet anyway. Pick a job a week and just keep truckin. Those trunk props are way different in '65. Pep Boys used to sell a roll of black carpet looking material that almost matches the industrial loop automotive carpet but in a lighter material. works great on the back cargo area, easy to cut and lays down nice over Marhyde spray adhesive: spray floor and back of carpet and let them set up for about 15 minutes then lay it down. Make sure you practice fit before doing that as this stuff grabs pretty good. door panels are pretty easy to make out of marine grade fiberboard from Home Depot or other home stores. cut with a rotozip or fine toothed jig saw and cover with vinyl from a crafts store in color of choice (match the carpet) Get some of the hog ring type OEM panel anchors and pop em on. That looks like a pretty solid starter to me.
