Well Ladies and Gents, been a long time since i was here last. Seems life has gotten the better of me for a while. I've decided to get back to the grind and get on getting my car worked on. First things First I want to start with the body because i think that will be hardest part of my project.
Any tips or places to look in Alberta For fenders or if I should pay someone to fabricate parts.
Are the parts you're looking for specific to 75 or will parts from a range of years fit?
There are a few 73 to 75 LeMans bodies at Flatla Auto Wreckers in Tilley, AB

I can probably help you out with stuff, I have inner fender's, fender's, a nos rear right quarter for a 4 door but most of it could be used for your 2dr, lip and rear section. Odd's and end's. If I can help let me know, I'm in Wetaskiwin, also have a buddy in Drayton Valley that is restoring a '77 GLM, he's bought part's off of me. If you like you can e-mail me directly for photo's. Later Robert PS I have a '75 Grand Am. rsamonig@telus.net

Look's like you could use interior part's as well, have some of that stuff too. I work in Edmonton, we could meet up and go from there if you wish. Would be nice to see this car restored!

Scrounging and uncovering caches of parts is a lot of the fun behind the restoration process. Best of luck with your hunt. With a G-3 you are going to need it.
As an aside, it would really be smart to take detailed pictures of the decals for later. You are lucky to still have the original paint & decals on the car for reference.

I have sail panels that are better than what you have. And probably some other stuff. Located in Calgary but visit 76GLM and Edmonton.
Here's a helpful repro parts list for reference: http://users.boardnation.com/~abodysite/index.php?board=3;action=display;threadid=10386
Thanks guys. Been super helpful so far I'm just not on my computer much. If you have any pictures of the parts you have I'd love to get this torn down and started into it before winter.
My goal so far is to get it all stripped down the body and frame cleaned up and checked
The interior was destroyed by field mice so I'll need to go around collecting all of that as well.
The suspension and driveline will likely get an updated setup but I'm not sure yet.
You can email me at justinjenner12@hotmail.com with any pics and info of parts
