Well said Donny.
Reading what is gone on this car I would not even go near this thing unless you are able to do all the work yourself and even then, prepare to spend a **** load of money.
Look in the for sale adds here and other mopar sites and you will find yourself a great deal on a nice car that you can get in and drive. Also something to think about is "life", it can get in the way with anything happening and then you could have a car
in the works and not able to finish it and still not worth much. Diving into a project of this magnitude is a monumental task and if you have a regular full time job and maybe even family there isn't always going to be time to work on the car. The price tag
for a pro to do this car would be way more than what the car is worth and quite frankly you would be just as far ahead if you start a little camp fire and start tossing the the green backs in. JMO.

There's nothing a good coat of wax and a detail wouldn't spruce up.

There, fixed it for ya!
Seriously, cars like that are frustrating because you can see they weren't molested much - then totally neglected. You see all the originality, all the goodness it was, but sometimes it's better to have a less rusted, dented up car in boxes than to tackle something with all that frame/floor problems.
But, as has been pointed out, it's only time and money!
