'85 IROC-Z frame rail damage
Hey guys. This is my first post here and the first Camaro ive ever owned so forgive me if I seem ignorant. I recently traded off my '99 Dakota Sport with a 3.9(not running, had a bad rod knock) and a grand for a '85 IROC-Z T-Top car with a 400 small block, A/T etc. For the most part the body is in a decent shape with the exception of needing a new passenger side fender and a few other odds and ends. Anyway I was going over it to find anything that may need replaced and found the driver side frame rail has been pushed back and attempted to be repaired. its nothing major, maybe 6-10 inches but it causes the nose not to line up with the hood. My question is can I replace the frame rails on this car and how involved/expensive would this be?

Your best bet is find a reputable body shop with measuring equipment. I would prefer computer, laser type system. Let them check it out and give you a price. The rails can be put in whole or sectioned. Just not a job for a newbie to frame and body work.
