Default 79 Z28 Rebuild saving a car from the Scrapyard

Ya my dad doesn't know about it and I'm keeping it that way til I get both this and the 66 Mustang done in private. Just wondering does anyone have advice for me on my build for the Z28 I hear it's a good body from the guy, but no pics yet, 200 is the price, and I'm paying out, just want to know what to expect.

Nothin right now, but since I havn't taken full ownership on it yet I'll send em as soon as I get good pics or buy it.

But it'd be full work, I'm setting down 44-50 thousand to do it, The Navy makes things pretty easy if that's the way you go with it, I'm working on becoming an officer that is, so I have some time to do things, and money to do it with.

But I was thinkin a old body with a Cowl Hood, white paint, black\silver screaming skulls on the sides, and a Cross on the hood, with a LS-2 with Kenne Bell kit on it.

I order a ton of parts from JEGS, also ecklers camaro and americanrestorationparts.com
Put a ton of the chevy bowtie GM parts, alternator, fan, bolts, electric water pump, and it's not too bad. I would go with a small block 350 or 400 if you wanted a Street/strip... if a drag or something get a big block... Have plenty of ideas if interested.
