What dose severe rust in door channels mean! and is this common as he states?

I think that guy was at the Swap Meet at Richmond .. If so the deck lid is half rusted away!

yes rust in the door chanels is common my 57 has gone.
but you can buy a new piece to fit in

Ok experts how much do you reckon it's worth?
i'm in for $500...

Strip back to bare metal, weld and quality sprayjob. $4-5k
Engine. $1k for a basic rebuild. Could spend way more.
Decklid. $300
2 bumpers $300
Windscreen $150
Brakes and suspension will probably need a rebuild if the rest of the car is that bad.
$1k maybe.
Full interior retrim. $1500
Thats about $8000 withou even trying yet for a car that probably wouldn't fetch more than 5k when complete.
There just isn't any substitute for buying a good car in the first place unless you have a lot of very talented friends who will work for beer and pizza.
Just my opinion obviously.
