Nobody seems to think there is frame damage to be honest with you. But its always likely it was estimated who ever hit it was going around 50-60 mphWill do anything for an LS1Comment

That car, if it isnt totalled, needs to be gotten rid of. You will never be happy with it if you get it fixed - it is amazingly difficult to straighten a car back out right and it isn't worth doing on such a cheap car as an Fbody.2002 5-spd NBM Camaro

I know you probably hate hearing it, but scrap it and move on. That's one hell of a hit!
You're most likely better off (and safer) driving it "as is" then letting Maaco touch it!sigpicComment

Anything is "fixable", it might be easier just to find another bird.<a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/ride/857214\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.cardomain.com/ride/857214</a>Comment

we need more pictures, a straight on shot, it looks bad ( not fixable) but you cant tell from 3 pics. fixing a frame isnt as bad as everyone thinks, your'll be amazed at what you can do. but like others said, it may not be worth it.the roof/ttop area is what worries me. need more pics.1998 bright red camaro ,M5 ,Y87 ,stock<br /><br />Originally posted by Rune:<br />If it smells like a turd and looks like a turd, chances are its probably not a candy bar.Comment

The Roof is fine, the only damage that seems apparent is the door, rocker panel, and the t top. The frame isnt bent,atleast not severly the passanger door opens fine which indicates that frame damage isnt substantial. How ever the gap in between the passanger door and the body is slightly larger, marginally how ever. Nobody seems to think the frame is bent who has seen the car. Its not really all that bad just the door took a substantial hit, tomorrow it gets taken to the body shop. Its not all bad though even if I have to scrap the Bird, Im getting an enlistment bonus from the Army that ranges from anywhere in between 10,000$ to 40,000$. If I get a decent bonus Ill be in a Cobra lolWill do anything for an LS1Comment

Part 4: Suspension Mods, Tires, Wheels, Headers and other Cool Stuff.
By: Hib Halverson
At the end of Part Three, we changed the valvetrain of the 3.8-liter V6 in the Tom Henry RS. We installed new, Yella Terra "Ultralite" 1.8:1, aluminum roller rocker arms, Katech valve springs and Katech titanium retainers on our 3800 Series II V6.
Ultralites are nearly 25% lighter than the stock 1.6 rockers and 8% lighter than the SLP aluminum...02-07-2020, 11:30 PM
