    yeah craigslist, a parts car or two, and the local CarQuest have been real helpful in the past, I intend to hit those sources up again.
    being South Ga, the junkyards don't hold alot of older stuff as it's either been torn apart or still in use as stuff doesn't rust here.
    I need to join the galaxie club, and wow, crites has some good prices on headers.

    My mission as of now:
    total interior replacement as it's trashed
    quarter panel on pass side needs to be replaced, some addition of sheet metal on pass side (I'll fab).
    Paintjob
    trunk is rotted out along with fuel tank.
    new brake lines and brakes
    new weatherstripping and seals all around as it's dried/cracked

    otherwise most metal is amazingly solid, just needs a good cleanup and some paint.
    Can't wait to tear into this one, should be a fun and trying next few years.
    The details on it are going to take a long time and deplete my 'hobby fund' account for the forseeable future.

    thanks for the suggestions,
    Drew
