More rust than first realized

[Jerrys1stgJimmy]

I have had my "project" sitting in the garage for a long time and stockpiling parts and whatnot, but have not gotten too much done on it. I knew it had a rust problem in the rockers, floor pans, and what seemed like minor surface rust in many other places. I did not look closely at one major area: The windshield frame, from the looks of it is very rusted. Is this a major problem? I planned on coating everything with rust encapsalator that I could. This is my first restoration and just the rockers and floors seemed scary enough for me, but I get even more discouraged when I look at what else is rusted, the rocker boxes are rusted up and down, maybe if I coat both sides with rust encap it will be okay? Would it be worth it to take everything apart, and do a frame off to get everything done right the first time? How long will this take vs. not getting so thorough? Sorry for the long message, maybe it won't read well but I really need help as this job seems impossible to me right now. I can take pics of everything sometime if you all would like to see it. It has a lot of potential, and I have found some very beefy bumpers, full cage, and some very nice seats locally and I thought I was nearly ready to go...this rust has got me down!@
