I would be all over this if I didn't already have a Mercury convertible project.

I had that 63 futura convertible with the 6cyl / 4spd combo back in '83 or so. Mine was baby blue with white top and a turquoise blue interior. Fresh paint and body work when I bought it, but lots a bondo over rust. I imagine it has returned to earth since then. Unless someone is prepared to create an entire chassis underneath, not a lot left of that !
I sure do miss mine...
Floor plan modified from a 64 mustang might be adaptable. I built a Datsun floor from scratch, not scared...
I don't know if a sedan/coupe pan could be beefed up enough for the convertible.
Im no chassis guy, and have to admit I'd be scared. Lots more talent on here than me, though!
After owning a few of the Falcon/fairlane unibody's from the 60's, I would assume they are about the worst for rust repair, but they prolly have a lot of company!
