Hit up a salvage yard with a friend over the weekend looking for some sheetmetal, of course nothing was there and what was had been picked over pretty good. I did score a set of bullet mirrors off an 80 Z28 though.

As you can see in the pics I started gutting the interior so I can get the floorpans redone.
I plan on getting the interior nicely redone, adding discs up front, overhauling the suspension then roughing in the body and priming it so I can just drive it some through the summer. Next winter I'll blow it apart and go to town.
Also scored a 400 4bolt main Ram Air II block off a friend that was a former Pontiac geek. The guy he got it from claimed it was out of a Comp Cams test car. Who knows for sure but it's still standard bore, just needs a hone and the crank polished.

Nice project did you have to grind much off the bottom of the mirror they fit nice.

Thanks guys. The mirrors actually went right on. There's a small gap between the post and the rubber at the bottom front edge that I would like to take care of, either by adding some material or trimming them up a bit.
