Hello and welcome
So are you looking for some selling advice,repair advice, or a shoulder to lean on? You're not alone,These 40 plus year old cars are very challenging to say the least . I'm in the process of replacing cowls,floor support frame rails, toeboards,floor pans,seat risers, and probably a bunch more stuff on a 66 at the moment.If you need to pick my brain,feel free. What year and body style is your car?

65 Fastbacks are VERY desireable cars like the the one in my sig pic which is my wifes car. Cowl rust is VERY common in these cars. Most likely if the cowls are rusted out, so is the floors. My wifes 65 Fastback I had to replace the complete cowl assembley from a wrecked car before the cowls were available reproduced, I also have replaced the floors full length both sides, front inner fender panels both sides, & radiator support. Any questions just ask. I have done quite a bit of sheet metal repair on both of our mustangs as they have spent their whole lives in the northeast.
hi how are you doing thinking about it but its not the year I rel want I would like 68 or 68 charger .
I hear you,Chargers are very nice. That said as far as your fastback.Rot sadly is common on these cars,luckily just about every panel for your car is available. Are you willing and able to do your own welding? Paying others to do this can get very expensive very quickly.A couple of quick thoughts for what it's worth if you don't absolutely love your car you might want to think about trading or selling out of it before you start tearing into it.May sound funny but trust me once you start getting into it there is a good chance you will find many additional things(these cars and project cars in general,have a habit of snow balling into more and more stuff) So if you don't love it now, you might like it alot less once that happens. Another thought to if you are on the fence about keepin it,I would not take anything apart yet,As a whole project car it is more valuable to sell or trade whole than in pieces. That's a couple of my thoughts for you. Personally it's a 65 fastback so obviously it's got heaps of potential,I'd like to see you keep it and I would gladly help advise you,etc. Anyway I can as well as some others on this site.
P.S. If you have any photos,info on your car I'd like to hear about it as I'm a huge fan of the early cars.
