welcome to mud. 
sounds like you get to learn how to do body work. You might want to start a new thread on that.

Welcome, thanks for the reminder of one reason I left MN.
I wish I could help but I don't know anything about body work & rust.
Best wishes in resurrecting your 60 from the rust.

OH boy...how's the frame on that?
I grew up in New England and my first cruiser had kinda bad rust on the outside, not as bad as yours, but not good at all. I had to 'retire' that cruiser due to the extensive frame rust. Check from about the rear spring hanger on back, be sure you've got a solid foundation to work from. In mine I had a hole I could stick 3 fingers through - not good.
