Help Needed For Project

[yooper]

I've been floating around this board for quite a while now and am finally ready to start my own project. I do need some help to find the start of this endevor.

I'm looking for either a 71 or 72 SWB 2WD. It doesnt have to be in the nicest shape because I'm going to tear it down to nothing and put it back together how I want it.

These are my plans:

I want a LT1 and 4L60E combination.
40/60 Split bench seat out of a late model chev/gmc
3.73 gears
hugger oarnge and white paint.
Wooden bed with birdseye maple wood.
custom built gauge cluster made out of birdseye.

I'm looking to build a total cruiser. Something I could jump in and drive across country with no worries. What would really be great is to build one and participate in the power tour across america.

I want to take advantage of all of your eyes out there. If anyone spots a start to my project PLEASE let me know. I'm willing to go almost anywhere to pick it up. I could use a vacation anyways.

thanks
