1970GT,
Well, I have seem worse GT's restored. Well, maybe one. If you want to see a similar GT restoration, surf to

I'll be honest, my first reaction was to suggest that you start looking for a GT with a lot less rust, and use this one for a parts car. Then, I thought, heck, with enough time and money, even THAT GT can be resurrected. But I am starting to drift back to my earlier sentiment. If you have a real love affair with that particular GT (which is Rudy's story), then it can probably be made roadworthy again. But for about twice what a better "base" GT will cost in total, and then some. And there are very few people out there who can accomplish what Rudy did.
Whatever you decide, good luck.
