Default How bad is it?

So I bought a 68 about a year ago and it had a few problems like... brakes locking up with rust, some rust on the body, frame, and everywhere in between. I ended up replacing the whole wiring harness, put disk brakes in front, new drums in the back. I swapped the 302 J-code with a 94 cobra 302. New ignition (wires, plugs, coil, distributer). Not to mention the suspension as well... So, I went to go get an alignment done to get her steering correctly and the tech called me and told me he couldn't do it because the passenger side frame was rusted apart just under the door hinge. I knew my rust was bad but holy crap! The paint isn't all that bad actually, just some rubbing compound will bring it back to a NICE candy apple red shine. I was just wondering what she might be worth now. I was thinking about selling it and getting a fastback or a fox body. Any input would be appreciated.
