I have jack stands under the k-member.
I have a jack and a block of wood supporting the body now.

I would love to cut that piece out at the junk yard, but the two closes junk yards to me dont allow jacks, air tools, and torches. It really limits what I can do. I have been thinking angle iron with flat stock welded at the bottom of it or square tubing.

I'd just start with another car.... go out of state if you have to. It'd be much easier than trying to guesstimate with this one.

Ive been slowly looking for a roller. I figure if I can fix this one for cheap I will. If it doesnt work out, I will get a roller. The worst i can do is ruin it, which its junk already hah.

You're gunna need a couple of batteries I would say. That rust is by far the worst I've seen in our body style cars.

That is why I tell people NEVER to drive a sports car in winter, it rusts the sh*t out of them. My Mach 1 has NEVER seen winter thankfully but my old 5.0L did before me, this was my old car, I had no rust in the areas you have though :/

Dang. I think I would've started crying if I saw that on my car. Good luck with whatever you decide to do. Texas FTW...

Well I finally got around to fixing it. I Figured the engine could use a 306 build anyways. I will end up doing both sides right away so I dont have to go through this hell again.
