Are there any pick 'n pull type self service auto yards around you? I've had good luck just cutting out what I needed at them without anyone saying anything.

 

Yeah, I just haven't had time to get out to any of them.
There's also another guy locally who has a lot of parts. I just can't seem to ever get to his shop when he's there.

 

Well I had to give up on the 93 trans am body....
I was in the process of sanding and stripping paint off the front end and was getting tired of it so I opened the hood and decided to remove the power steering and master cylinder and booster and while I was there I noticed a wrinkle not quite right in the firewall.
Looked at it from the inside and sure enough its wrinkled and jacked right behind where the pedals would be.
I measured the distance from center rear to center front axles on both sides and sure enough the driver side is about 3/4" shorter than the passenger side. Upon closer inspection I found the driver sheet metal under the fender has totally different seam sealer and has obviously been cut in and replaced.....
I was pretty irritated by that....
But, I just found a 99 v6 firebird that's black (which is the color I was gonna paint the red one) no motor no tranny in it......for ----->>>>> $500!!!!!
Whole car, decent shape, and a way better starting point.
So, taking the red wrecked wonder to the scrap yard Monday

 

Oklahoma car! I thought that first one looked familiar. I have some lt and ls parts if you need them along the way. You know about B&R salvage, right? There are quite a few guys in the Oklahoma members thread that have parts and can help if you need it man. Good luck!

 

Cool. Thanks

Never heard of B&R salvage

I'll look them up

 

craigslist or junk yard it up and ebay are the places to find spare parts and get this done cheaply
