Default Re: 1979 new (to me) car

I want to restore the car to original and have a good deal of the parts-all NOS. I have it stripped to go to body shop, but guy has put me off for a year. I really want to get this done so I can finish one thing in my life before I die, but I am getting discouraged and may give up and sell if I can't keep moving forward. Car sat for 20+ years without being touched, just got back into cars 2 years ago after becoming empty nester.

No one asked, but I'll add, This is a Real SS/RS, L78, M20, 3.31, posi, Norwood X22, Hugger Orange car that retains most all of it's original born with components except engine block. Replacement block is a Real 1969 Camaro JH coded block though.
