WTB boneyard 70's era sportscar bodies to cut up.

I know, it sounds weird, right? But I'm detailing the garages on my 1970's Le Mans layout (1/32) & I thought it would be cool to have some spare body parts in some of the garages. Front or rear clips, bumpers etc. I could especially use a Porsche 917k & a Ferrari 512s body or two. Must be pure boneyard bodies so that when I cut them up I won't feel guilty + I don't want to spend an arm & a leg. Other similar 70's era sports car bodies could probably be used because I have 8 garages to fill. Will probably just razor saw them apart at the appropriate places & then spray them primer gray.
Anyone got anything that's been sitting in a box under your layout that you'd want to get rid of? PM me.
Thanks.

I should have some. I know I have a MPC 917 model kit not built. And I think I may have a GT40 that is defunct as well. I will look today and get back to you.

Model kits are even better because of all of the other parts I could scavenge to fill the garage with. See what you have & let me know. Thanks!

Cutting up a Ferrari is an offence that will be punished with lightning bolts from the heavens.

That's why I said "boneyard". I'm talking broken bodies w/cracked windshields & missing mirrors & spoilers that have been lying under teh layout in a box teh past 15 years. Stuff you know you'll never use or could fix but feel bad getting rid of. : )

Still looking Deco, I have the complete MPC Gulf 917 kit and all its pieces and decals, but I am having a hard time locating much 70's era Lemans body parts. (at least ones that can be cut up). Don't give up on me yet! I know I have some in all these boxes!
