i took the shock tower from my donor car.. looks great if i wouldnt have had the donor car i couldn't have done it
took the windshield, shock tower, frame rail, control arm, passenger air bag, dash, and a few other pieces of metal.. got the bumper and fender from a buddy (traded the front end off my donor car to him and he did and LT1 front end conversion) and the hood was saved since it was fiberglass
here are the under hood pics.. still gotta get the bottom of the hood painted though

Wow man, when you posted the pics after it happened I felt so bad for you. The car looks great bud, hefty bill, but its your money, your car, and you did what you wanted so congrats.

Wow I remember your thread about wrecking it looks great man. I just got out of school for collision repair I clipped a tree earlier this year and bent the frame rail I straightened it out with a tree and come-along. Lol
