Kind of off topic but was curious what your 79 Caprice Coupe with 400 SBC runs the 1320 in.

By the way, this guy might have doors for you: (Edit nvm, I had a link to a guy selling a complete rust free 79 Caprice Coupe for $500 obo, but now the link is gone so it must be sold)

I grew up in Elgin and used to get stuff from there but as I got older Elgin Super only started to carry newer cars. See if there the junk yards on Bluff City Blvd (just across the highway from Elgin High School on the same side of the street as the grave yard but closer the highway) they had some older cars there last time I went... but that was atleast 7 or 8 years ago.

Nooooooo they filled in the quarry by Elgin Sweeper company !? I remember sneaking in there when I was in High School and going off roading there all the time. It was always a good time.

Yeah we used to fish in there also and go swimming and what not. There is still some water left but nothing like it used to be. The ooffroading was on the westside I think of the quarry the big one I mean that you can see of 20
