Fixing my Front end damage on my 91 camaro RS
Ok heres the deal...i got hit by some punk kid cutting a light in a parkin lot. Front drivers side to be exact... I have looked at the passanger side and it looks good...My question is can you buy a new Radiator support and put them in these cars? Because myne is fxcked but it looks to be welded in. Also the Metal that i bolt my fender too on the car is bent at the end..Is there a way to put a new support for that or is that something i will have to get bent back right? I will have pics of the car tomorrow im in the process of taking off the front bumper...man this bums me out big time

it needs to go to a pro. i fix smashed cars for a living and i can tell from the pics that the front end of the car is definatly down. there is most likly gonna b some frame damage. i wouldnt suspect it to be anyting too terrible but theres gonna b some. your drivers side rail is definatly down a few inches. hope this helps.

Lol X rays...yea his insurance will not cover it since it was done on private property...No tickets were issued so ill be doin this on my own...I guess ill have to have a pro come check it out or dolly it up to a shop as it is in no condition to drive...Yea i really wanted to get close up on the pics so i did that....so you can see every possible angle

It has to go on a frame rack. No way just doing to core support is going to fix it. Looks like u might even need a new rail to.And that apron part right behind the core.Looks to be down and over quit a bit.
