My brother screwed up this time
A good shop that can do good frame work can fix it. We used to live in a world were things that were hit hard and wrecked was not repairable and today that is not the case.
A good frame guy is worth his weight in gold. My dad did body work and went to frame school and I can tell you he put them back to factory if not better. They have so much to be allowed off and my dad didn't except that is was put back to 100% correct.
I have seen him take cars that most would pass on to rebuild and rebuilt them and you could never tell that it was wrecked and a good many of them he did not do an all over paint job he just simply blended them in.
It will cost a good bit but a numbers matching car is worth saving. It also sounds like a few guys are talking about reboding a car now that is just wrong because it will never be what he just wrecked it will always be a questionable car with different numbers with the hidden vins.
We do live in a world that things can be fixed and brought back to life and there are a lot of slant six donor cars out there and new sheet metal.
Do you know most new cars driven off the lot have frame damage? This comes from being tied down on the carriers and all the stress they go through from the bumps in the roads and moving will bend the frame.
My dad fixed a many of frames on new cars driven right off the lot due to this and it is funny but the most of them were fords.
Also when buying a car you can check the frame by just putting I think its three or four fingers between the front wheel well. You messure from the back of the front wheel to the fender and if you can get them in with out touching there is damage.
We don't live in a time that a car is to gone to fix.
