For 800 bux you have a steal, young man. What are you going to attack first? The undercarriage rust? I would think so.

I did this once, replace the compete floor from the firewall to the back seat and the frame rails. It's kind of hard but worth it. It looks like you may not need to replace the frame rails, clean and rust neutralizer. But I can't see inside the rail. Johns Mustang in Houston is selling the complete floor as one peace. Are you going to leave the 8 inch in?

damn you could recycle it for more than 800$. yea hit that undercarriage first. after you get the rails and floors done coat the whole bottom with some rubberized undercoating. spray it on thin with two coats. it will look like you powder coated the bottom for about 15$. if you run into rust problems thumpin is your man. or if you have any questions regarding your car, ask soaring LOL

If this is your first rebuild , take progress pictures,
The next one you think about doing get out the pictures and then go buy the one that’s already done. Ha!
Find a good welder for you present rebuild and weld both sides of the floor pans all the way around. , it's a big pain to do but sure makes a difference in the appearance. Rust neutralizer after welding is a must, undercoat for noise reduction . That rust killer works very well, Wal Mart.
