70rs, the tear down of the car ( I'm the original owner ) is going painfully slow, partly due to my health, partly due to the garage being unheated!

The interior is nearly all out, just have to remove the heater / ac box, some wiring, and steering column. Drivetrain is out except the original 3:73 posi ten bolt. Front subframe and fenders will come off as soon as I trial fit the big block & T56 combo for any interference.

All new suspension from Speedtech, SC&C, Hotchkis, Pro-Touring F Body. Brakes are Hydratech with C5 calipers and LS discs out back. T56 is a new LT1 ( that I picked a few years back ) behind a Spec Stage 3+ clutch and Fidanza flywheel.

With some hard work and a bit of luck, it'll be in the paint / body shop this Summer.

Hope to keep the car basically stock looking with the exception of the Goodmark cowl hood and Rushforth Concept II wheels. Tough to hide that.

Sounds like a great plan John. I am looking forward to lot's of pictures of the build (uh, get your camera warmed up please ).
I am in kind of the same boat right now, some health (shoulders) and logistics are keeping me from doing much for the next month or two but I should be able to get back on it soon.
