    Damn, thats a hard hit. While the pic isn't great, it still looks bad enough for me recommend to look for a new shell. Those rails have to be toast, glad you are ok man.

      so the rails cant be fixed is what your saying. they are bent a little. I really think it could be straightened instead of starting all over. Has anyone had this experience before with these rails being bent? please chime in and let me know

        you will need to put it on a frame rack to straighten them out.
        Or with pulling post' with the car chained down,

        If I had my frame rack bolted to the ground at the shop, I would help you out.

        Long story short I went through 3 80gallon compressors from lowes in less then 4months. POS I can say, So picked this one up from T.S.C.(Great deal too, $860 out the door) and ended up going half's on the welder with my pops.. I just need a few more tools to get, but these I needed the most.. My 2nd Ingersoll Rand compressor

          Dumpi capri is fixing a fox worse then that. Just fix it right, and you will be ok.

            Bubba , all the sheet metal can come off the inner fenders and you can have the rails pulled by any frame shop . I took mine apart myself so I could make sure to keep everything how I wanted it . I have a frame guy if you need one but he is in Haltom City but its a good hook up and he will do anything you want how you want it . He is also a great paint shop and has painted over 10 cars for me . PM me if you want info . This is what mine looked like and after I removed all the metal . I separated all the pinch welds with nothing more then a hammer and chisel and it only took a few hours . I don't think yours is even this bad . You may be able to save the inners .

              Yeah Jim that car is bad, but it did not get the shock towers, so it is fixable. His will be no different.

                  those pics really make me feel better. thanks for all your input. It looks like i will be able to fix mine. does anyone have any clue how much that is going to cost me. i already will have motor/tranny out and bumper and fenders off.I know its a long shot but a ballpark would be nice to see what im in for. thanks again to all of you. this is the only time i really relied on you stangers. Big thanks to mike for the fender as well

                          [QUOTE=mikec;674957]I've had these things sitting out there for about four years. Literally last Tuesday i finally threw out the nose piece. Was just like that one too...

                          So you didn't think to offer it to someone on here, before you decided to throw it in the trash?
