[ECU PIRATE]

texasfunk,

I could not tell you how to proceed since this is my 1st attempt at a build since my Dad and I re-did my 68' Camaro back in 1988. On my 82' I have tried to stay away from repo parts so far. I went so far as to pull (2) sets of fenders off of (2) different trucks to get the best ones. There is something about original American made GM parts that is much more appealing than buying an aftermarket part made 1/2 way around the world. Don't know what other members might say but, I would opt. for doing the body work if it's worth it or getting some donor panels from a parts truck. Its too hard to get rust free parts here in Northern Virignia but, I must stay vigilante. I am now on the hunt for a donor engine for my 82'...........trying to go big block all the way! The hell with the gas prices. This will be my weekend ride...........
