I have to admit, I have seen one that rusty get back on the road.

The owner sold drivetrain, including the K-member. He pulled the interior, welded and patched with square tubing and sheet metal he shaped (more or less), then bolted it to a 4-wheel drive frame with 30+” tires and painted it with spray cans.

One ugly SOB, but at the coast in the 80’s, it got lots of attention. Got mad when I asked him if I could have the parts he took off.
:rofl:

I've seen worse. I have a friend who bought a 70 Super Bee, 383, 4 speed Ramcharger hood car. Numbers matching, all original drive train. That's where the good stuff stops. LOL Everybody.......and I mean EVERYBODY told him save the drive train, and junk the rest. I have to admit......it was THAT BAD. There wasn't a panel in the car that wasn't rusted through. But he persevered. He fixed that car and made it gorgeous. What did he do then? Built a 440 Six Barrel cause the 383 just wasn't enough. LOL It's a beautiful car. Now. LOL
