Ya it ended up being one of those projects that the further you get into it the worse it was. But after starting it where do you stop and say it isn't worth it 
might as well keep going.
If I would have known the car was in as bad shape as it was we would have never started it. But we bought it as a rolling shell that was in primer, work done by a body shop. Well I can't believe any shop would do the kinds of things that were done to that car, it was a real hack job. But it is nice to save it and know it isn't going to scrap.
Dont beat your self up to much,
I am right in the middle of the same thing I am at the partial assembly point(70 GC barracua)
and yes if I would have known I would have tried to find a more solid car....so goes the quote"I will fix it as i go along" and as you found out ,
and I did too I found more than I bargained
for your pics remind me of our Barracuda I have had the car since 99,
the more we cut away the more of the tin worm we found
and the TME (time,money,energy) set in,but your car looks awesome and keeps me inspired
