We can't see through your framerails Boss, I think DanK there still wins. Even my rusty Rustang has more rust than yours from the looks of it

She is rusty but I can't see through his frame rails or his aprons either, what are we starting a "Title war"? well...
Mine does not have more than 4" of frame rail front or back right or left that isn't see through the floors are bad, the toebaords are bad, Tunnel is bad inner rockers are bad, outter rockers are shot, the doors had been reskined twice and bondoed after that, the quarters are 60% plastic and old window screen and the wheel houses are Hole filled as well as the taillight panel, the hood is rusted through on the bottom side and the panel behind the conv. well in front of the trunk is shot underneath. the firewall will need to be reconstructed the lower cowl portions on either side are bad. The only thing that isn't shot is the upper portion of the cowl (Though it does show spots of rust) and the VIN#.
But hey I only claim to "All but own the name Rustang" not to have any exclusive rights to it, Kenny_Z was using the title for his car before I came to the forum I just didn't know it 'till after I posted this thread, so no title war here guys, Momma taught me to share.
Show us your pics BOSS_DUDE_429 It's always nice to share, misery loves company!  . Share and share alike?
"RUSTANGS" FOREVER! 
Dan

That's nothing a little POR-15 and some Bondo won't fix up in a jiffy.
POR-15 FTW!!!!!!
Than you just weld in street signs where there are actual holes and you are good to go!
As far as rust in the owner, Been there, done that! I got rust in my eyes trying to remove the shifter linkage from under the car. Fortunately, the car still has more rust than the owner! LOL!!
Comsidering what she's been thru, there's not much rust, but where there's rust, there's R-U-S-T!
Dan, you are a better man than most. Maybe that or just crazier than most. LOL!! I don't think many-a-man would take on that challange. My hat is off to you sir for purchasing this car and making it your goal to bring it back to life. I vote here and now, the from the moment you repair the rust damage, you have to change the name of your car to Frankenstein. There is no other name that can say how much had tobe done to that car to bring it back to life.
What your car needs is the human equivilant of a complete skeletal reconstruction with several skin grafts. 
Good luck and God speed!!

I've got a few extra rolls laying around here I'll ship out to you if you wanna finish the job they started.
WOW! Man. I thought my panel job was bad. The PO of my stang did a QRT skin replacement on the D/S rear. Horrible job. They used pop rivits and a layer of bondo about a inch thick. The job was done so poorly that the daily wear and tear flexed the body to the point that it stress fractured the bondo where the skin met the original body metal.
What - A - Mess!!!!
I'm probably gonna have to just sell it as a rolling chassis to someone who has the time and money to put into it and use my earnings to fund my A.A.S. degree

The only type of crappy patch job this baby is missing is duct tape.
I found duct tape under the bondo in the left side trunk riser patch. It was holding down the rivets 
As long as we're telling rust horror stories...my car has no floor pans, not a one. The PO riveted sheets of fiberglass in place and used seam sealer on the inside, bondo on the outside. I'm pretty sure one bolt is holding the was 16, now 10, dented gastank on and the rest was bondo'ed on. I can reach through my rear quarters on the underside to get things out of the trunk. My front framerails aren't actually bad until you get toward what's left of the firewall on the driver side. The last 8 inches on either rear frame rail must still be in the field they pulled the car out of. Basically I bought a transtunnel, a vin, two doors, and a roof. Even the rims are rusting away.
We should start a Rustang support group

Not enough rust! But it makes up for it with that paint job 
Edit - Oh yeah, we need specs on it. Engine, rear, everything

I don't claim to have the only "Rustang" but I do have one none the less. My car has had everything from the firewall forward replaced. New floors, quarters, trunk, rear frame rails, etc.
My front frame rails looked like the Titanic on the bottom of the ocean!
I like the idea of a Rustang support group!!!

Can I join also? Started on the front and worked my way back (avatar pic). Got to this point before a body man took over (I was starting to get impatient, took me 3 years to get this far, lol). Bright side is it's getting painted soon.

Only 50%? Yay, I'm in! lol. In the Avatar I just got the new trunk floor installed, but didn't replace the package tray yet. Yes, my package tray rusted out, lol. I could probably list what was replaced, but I really don't want to think about it.
Edit: In case anyone was wondering 65-66 Coupe package trays will also work in 67-68 Coupes.
