Jesse, did you ever get a core support? How about a floor pan? There is a Regal at teh boneyard here in town thats in pretty good shape. The header panel is toast otherwise I would have snagged it for ya. Car has blue interior. I also have a core support if you dont pick up turbonuts.

Here we go, STORY TIME!
No he hasn't got back to me about it so I am still looking for one. I know there is a good shell sitting in spencer but I haven't got around to going up there yet. It also has nice quarters on it so I was going to cut my patches also. I got the rear section of floor I needed but the patch I got for the front I had to cut a little narrow due to rust. It's about an inch short on the outer edge. Haven't decided if I'm gonna tack some more onto it or just cut a whole other patch. I'm working on getting all this stuff but just haven't had the time to get up there. I think the core supports and bumpers go cheap there, something like 20-30 a piece. They're more into scrapping out there so they don't charge an arm and a leg for most of the stuff. Doors are already gone unfortunately so I'm still stuck with what I have. Let me know what you can do and for how much. I'm supposed to be working on getting an aluminum support but still haven't recieved a pm back. Is the car a limited or base car? Still need front bumperettes also.
Couple more questions. I noticed my front springs appear to be in very nice shape, but weird thing is the top coil on one is not attatched to the rest of the spring like the other one is. Is this a defective or is it just the way it is for weight distribution?? Also looking for some stock boxed rear arms or a deal on some aftermarket that AREN'T solid bushing type. I have a lot of stuff to get started, and a lot could've been done already, just waiting on this borrowed welder I've been promised the past 3 weeks

Hey Jesse--I guess I was kinda waiting on you to get back to me.
 Sorry fore the confusion. I have the core support waiting for ya if you still want it. Just PM me and it's yours. How soon do you need it? I'll be in Ft. Dodge the first weekend of October for the Cruise to the Woods car show...hopefully with my GN!! We could meet there, or if you need it sooner I'll meet you somewhere if you want. Let me know. Sorry again for the confusion. ---Keith

Jesse, if you need front bumperettes, are you going to use black or chrome bumpers? I think I have a spare set of chrome ones. The car over here is a Limited. You know you can always call me if you need something!

Hell yeah! I'm shooting to have the car pretty much done by May, well driveable
Des Moines would be good halfway point and a good beer spot also . I might have to hold out on buying my interior items so I can finish up buying body parts. Got my daughter's bday coming up and I think I've found a guy that will frame my whole basement for a mere 200 bucks so some things will have to wait. All in all it's looking good for my deadline though, as long as the weather cooperates so I can paint around march/ april. Like I said guys, after the rust repair on the body and frame is done, IT WILL BE ON LIKE DONKEY KONG!On a happier note I spotted what looked to be an 86 maroon ttype with blackout trim driving down Gordon Dr. today. I wonder if it is someone from the board? Looked good from what I saw.Jeremy, my front bumperettes look OK but the rubber is shot. I wonder if I can massage the rubbers off some chrome ones and put them on mine when I paint them?? shouldn't be a problem from what can see... Keith, it would probably be easier just to ship the core support. It would be a 50 dollar bill for me to go there and back I'm sure, then the 3 hours of driving and probably at least a good hour of BS'n, with ya while I'm there .

My dad stopped over today and checked out the carnage. Walked around the garage and said he's gonna start helping me out here in about a month. Not gonna hold my breath but who knows. He walks over by the engine and tranny and says "is that all ready to go?" I said it was the ONLY thing ready to go

Hey Jesse---shipping on that rad support is gonna be GRUESOME!! Something like $125 or more!!
 It's big and heavy...according to UPS anyway. Sure you don't want to meet up somewhere? Might be worth it! Let me know ---Keith

Man I wish you lived closer to here. I just stopped by the boneyard again today and the REgal they have has good floor boards and a good core support. If I had a cutting torch or something to cut that floor out, I'd gladly do it but I have no such tools. I'm laid off right now so I am going to do some snopping around the local boneyards.

sawzalls are AWESOME TOOLS Jeremy
I should be allright as long as I get up to spencer soon. Just look out for the stuff I need- a header, and we4/blackout specific parts including interior if you come across it. Keith, Dont' be scared to shop around for shipping prices, you'd be surprised. I still have plenty to do as is and certain things that need to be done before hand. Plus this freakin' house . Got a line on a guy to finish framing my basement for 10 bucks an hour so if I line this up I'll have a lot more time and less to deal with so I can get back into the car.

Hmm. Have to see about that. I'll leave it up to the woman cause if she isn't having a good time then NO ONE is having a good time
. Have to see how cash flow and job situation is. Trying to get a new job at Cargil and I think I finally got a shot. 17.30+ to start doesn't sound bad ONly thing that sucks is it's a 24 hour operation. I'll run it by Jenn and see what she says. Probably have to be before the sh!t hits the fan with the weather. She wants to go to the LUMBERYARD, sounds like a good meet up to me
