Default Progress on the GT-37

I just bought this 71 GT-37 the other day. Floors, trunk, frame seem to be solid. Just one small hole in trunk and lots of surface rust on frame. The body is pretty rough. It needs passenger lower quarter and both front fenders are totally rusted out (probably braces too) down low behind the tires. Rear pan under bumper is totally rusted out and front pan under bumper is mashed in.--.probably not salvageable.

It is a base GT-37 with 350 and 3 speed manual on the floor. I am the third owner. It has been sitting in garages since 1992. Right now it doesn't run. I plan to replace the gas tank, line and possibly rebuild carb if I need to just to get it running and see what I've got. Engine does turn and as far as I know has 187,000 miles on it. Also needs cap, points, rotor and plugs... But first I need to redo the brakes as it has none!

I will be posting progress here on this long-term project.
I am not that familiar with Pontiac engines so when I get that far I will definitely need some advice I also need info on Pontiac parts sources. . I guess that's all for now. Hopefully I will figure out these pictures so I can show where it's at here the outset. My plan at thai point is to rebuild the car stock/original...but we'll see.
