Ughh that sucks man, glad your ok though. With that much damage its a loss. Your gonna have to start over.
If you want another F-body I'd say give the LS car a shot. It will be tough to find a clean lt1 platform these days. If your still hard up on the lt1 look get the panels and bumper like just mentioned.

Start over, when i got hit in the back insurance gave me 10k, i took it to a shop who said it would have been at least 9k to fix + i wouldnt see my daily driver for a month and a half and it never would be perfect again. Got a new car, made the right move.

i have too much $ invested in the car to start off new. i thought about parting it out but i don't want to have a car in pieces laying around for months. cheapest and least painful route is buying a roller and swapping parts.

if i sold it I would probably only get enough to buy a stock ls1 with high miles that runs high 13s. for less i could buy the roller swap parts and be exactly where i was before the accident.

thats a bummer to hear man! if I were you I'd look for a v6 94-97 cause their cheaper and you know the chassis hasn't taken much abuse and the interiors are probably pretty mint cause I imagine they were mostly owned by females
how do you feel about C4's?

i thought about the v6 but id have to rewire the car since the harness is different. that seems like a pain to do especially if i had to take mine out. a new harness is like $600. if i can get a v8 roller with the harness in it already that would be great.
