Default Engine bay parts for my '68 firebird

Well my engine bay is absolutely gutted right now and I need a lot of parts that go back in.

Here is my ongoing list

On the firewall:
Master Cylinder/ Brake Booster, Prop Valve (Disc front, drum rear)
Heater blower
heater blower case (non-ac)
Windshield Wiper/washer motor

Other parts:
Fan Shroud (v8)
Pontiac 400 motor mounts
Wiper field bottle, cap, bracket
Front inner fenders
Hood latch assembly
Battery Tray
Park Lamp housings, lenses, gaskets

Other parts
calipers (front disc)
rear wheel cylinders
rear drums
rotors (front disc)

Hoping to get some help on these because going through ebay and parts stores the prices are crazy! But I guess that is the nature of the beast.

Thanks!

Many of those parts I would not buy used. Shipping is going to cost
A lot on the big or heavy parts. If you are in northern IL there are a few
Resto part places you can go get the parts.

D&R Classic, they sell on Ebay or you can just go there. They are a Camaro place but they have some Firebird stuff also. I recommend them, I drove down from milwaukee a few times to get parts from them.

Tamraz, they also sell on Ebay or you can buy directly through them. I have never been there, but not the best service when I have dealt with them.

The Parts Place, I have only bought from them once, but no complaints.

Your local parts stores may be able to get more than you would expect for these old cars.

Would you split the upper cross plate and the support bracket?

I haven't heard back from the original poster yet. If he doesn't respond soon, I'll go in order including Private Messages.

Yes I can split them up. Are you interested in the top plate or the four support brackets?

I need the support brackets, I have the top plate already. I'm also interested in the two pieces on the bottom of the picture, I think they go from the inner fenders to the fenders?
