On the Falcon hunt.. How tough to tackle these rust spots?

In hot pursuit of a 61 falcon with rot, how tough are these areas to tackle? Rear door area looks the worst.. 1600, runs and drives and stops, but has the evil rust..

I wouldnt walk at all!!

RUN!!!!!!!!! Fast!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I keep trying to step into these rust love'n dreams, an you guys just keep trying to save me from rust nightmares

Love this one but he wants 4800, trying to work him down..

where you live the right van will come soon

This may be the one if I can talk him to 4! Meeting up tomorrow, yeeehooo!! May the barter Gods be with me!

Good luck, keep us posted. Give it a good thorough looking over.

Best of luck! I hope you can work something out. The first van in this post I would call (IMO) an "ambitious resto" or a "really nice parts van".

Thanks you guys, ill let yall know how it goes

I bit on one & have it has some rust issues

But for now I'm working on getting the clutch pivot joint fixed so its drivable LOL!!! *face palm*

Keep on choppin Blue Steel! I passed on the rust machine and just drove that black van home lastnight! Finally got my ride! So excited! Rode my motorcycle 150 miles to look at it, bartered for 30 mins then did some repairs for 3 hours to get it to fire up. (hasnt run or drove for quite a while) then loaded up my bike in back, kept my fingers crossed and made the 3hr drive back! Ill be posting pics soon!

Congratulations on your new ride!! Looking forward to the pictures!!

let the fun begin!!!!! congrats on the van...

Congrats Skulptor! How was the drive back home? Show us some pics when you get a chance...YeeeHaaa!

Congratultions sculptor on getting that van. From the pics, it sure looks nice. I can't waite to see more.

Thanks guys! Sorry been busy, pics soon soon.
Drive was great, going to take some getting used to always being in the slow lane lol. A lot of slop in steering but I've had that in cars before, only real issue I had was couldn't get into first a few times. Was upsetting few folks behind me stop and go traffic ;P did some wrenching at the guys house before I left on the journey home. Had to put in new electric fuel pump, had one in it that was dead, and an put in a new exhaust donut at the header.. Few other little things..
Ran pretty good, blinkers arnt working and not sure bout gas gauge.. But had it two days and already put 400 miles on it! Now just slowly start going through it

the slop you'll get use to, even a tight steering box on these there some slop

Keeps driving exciting right! Part of the van experience
