Default New Guy with a 72 Lemans

My name is Chris and I just bought a 1972 lemans that I will be cloning a 1972 Lemans GT with. It's not in great shape but is very restorable condition. I will post some pictures and looking around the site for parts and info. Thanks for any help you can give me.

I just found his build sheet about 20 minutes ago. Cool stuff, I remember when I found the one in my 72' Monte. I also have the build sheet from my high school car, an 86' IROC-Z.
