Don’t take this the wrong way.
For $6000 I would expect a 50 year old car to have some underbody issues.
If one area of the frame has heavy rust, I would expect to find heavy in other areas.
That being said, if you got a complete second generation Barracuda, that needs some under body repair for the price mentioned, your deal was not a complete disaster. Like you said, it is the car you wanted, the exterior paint is good enough.
If I had paid $12000 for the car, I would have expected better. Look around a see what you get for $6000 on late model cars these days, not much.
I don’t disagree, if the buyer has the promises of a ‘solid car’ in writing from the seller. It should be an easy win for him.All 100% true, but his purchase certainly sounds misrepresented.

better be good at rail replacement front weight and stressIm on the it can be fixed side.
I look at it as an excuse to buy tools.
But that was a long time ago.
Now im all tooled up and willing to tackle almost anything.
Mig is easy. Clean and set the machine for what you are welding. I started with a 300 dollar mig, still have it i think.
Same with air tools,buy within your means and make do with them.
I ran a way too small compressor for years, made up for it with a holding tank.
If it was here, i think i would come up with a repair,and plan to replace rail at some point in the future.
Keep in mind, upper control armbetter be good at rail replacement front weight and stress
The 2 pictures you put up look odd. Why the black outline? Are these screen shots of some vertically recorded video?
If you do post up more pictures, PLEASE don't shoot them in vertical format. That looks horrible. The facebook morons do that. It makes every image look like you are peeking through a narrow doorway. ALL TVs, movie screens and computer monitors have screens that are wider than they are tall because our EYES are side by side, not one over the other.
