Where are you located? I know of some Fbody guys that could probably help if you need anything specific. IE, recently there was just a TA part out on Craigslist...guy was in Paxton, he may still have some parts.

Furious, I think I know the car your talking about. I text him to see about an Ls brake swap before I ordered from Hawks. He said he didn't think he wanted to sell it thou. Was it a purple WS6 smashed in the back end?

I'm mainly wanting to look around. I smashed mine up in oct and it was a PITA to track down parts. I had to get alot from Hawks and shipping almost killed me. I do need a few interior pieces but it's not a life or death situation. Wouldn't mind a spare block or an engine swap. Maybe an LS1 front clip swap. (I'm dreaming now).

I've just noticed there seem to be a few sports car salavge yards out there but I haven't found any near me yet. I can't be the only person to smash one can I. I'm in Pekin by the way.
