SO EXCITED!

Ok,
 Here is the scoop.  I've got my '72 Z back in N. Ga from Central Florida.  (Any body see me?)  Anyway, My Z has 38,000 miles, but the engine is in 3 boxes in my garage.  I recieved another '72 that was running in 2004.  The car was hit at the door pilar by another car (Bad Day....)  The owner attempted to pull it out, but it is pretty bad.
The car is complete with all new body gaskets in 1991 or so.  EVERY THING!  I am wanting to pull everything off of the bent one and put it on my 72.  When I get the stuff off of the bent one, I am thinking that I want to cut out the driver's door post and 1/2of the rocker pannel as well as the shock tower and replace it with another from a 3rd Z that I have.  The 3rd Z is in really in bad shape, and it is a 71.  Has anyone ever tried this before? I know how to weld, but is there any significant interior body changes between the two years?  I will also need a Driver's fender.  ( the 71 is missing this).  I think the biggest problem I will have with repairing the 2nd 72 is location.
I hope to have one of the Z's  running in a few weeks.  I'll keep everyone informed.  Does anyone know what tires these things had on them when new?  Two of my Z's had Bridgestone identical tires in the spare area.  One of these cars hadn't been driven since '77.
Thanks,
KC

My 600Z had a Dunlop spare(don't know if it was origional), I ran Michelin's on the ground.
I only had to use it once. It was 15 minutes between seeing the flat, as I approached the car, and driving off on the spare. Easy spare change.
