The body looks great from what I can tell, why on earth would they strip it so much!? There should be laws against things like that!

Atta boy JBYRD 
That car is going to be pretty crazy when it is done..... And it looks cleaaaaaaaaaaaan.
The intake manifold on the convert V8 in the boneyard is stock and POS. I'm guessing that car wasn't that quick when it ran. Probably low 13's with an anemic smallblock Chevy making 200hp and probably 250ft/lbs tq. Yawn.... Slap an intake/carb/cam/headers and that will push 300hp easy and 350ft/lbs tq.
Better heads..... add 50-75hp without even modifying them.
I love walking around auto dismantling yards......
