Pics on progress....my poor baby will soon be home!
Well after my accident i thought id never be able to resurect her.....well i was wrong. Ive been able to find alot of parts from all the leads taht ive found on this site and other people. (Thanks Kevin, from Extremeauto f-body motorsports and hawksthirdgen). Hopefully next week she'll be home. My guys at the shop are painting her this week. Here are some pics before my front end was put on. My guys had to weld in all new front end peices. Ill be sure to post pics of it all finished.

3...last one. So far right now the estimate my guy gave me was 2800. Ive gotten all the parts right now except the main radiator support. He had to weld in all new front stuff and also had to saw off my front frame ends (where the impact bar bolts to) and weld in new ones. The frame was not bent, but mine ends were no-where near good enough to keep.

glad to see your standing by your bird and getting her fixed! That's true dedication.

Sweet...mine is being painted this week also. I am supposed to get it back tomorrow. I'm reaaally nervous. I saw it and it looks pretty good but I'm still nervous as crap.
I say do away with the grey and make it all red. Thats what I did.

Classic Industries has alot of license plate frames. The ones that i got are chrome'd up metal ones that specify the year. $12.95 a pair. not to bad IMO. They have alot of other ones too though to choose from. Yeah, i cant part with my baby. I got it for my 16th birthday....it was my first car.....its just got alot of sentimental value to me...not to mention that ive been on ebay, my local car selling magazines, autotrader.com and alot of other sites...and ive NEVER seen another formula that was my twin with the same options as mine....so that makes me feel even better.
