can i fix this?

unfortunately, this present was given to me by me. i plowed through a mailbox and two brick wall and into a ditch (going a little too fast on wore out tires) the frame is twisted so, the car is pretty much toast. i don't have the money to put it on a frame puller, so that's not really an option, it would never be right again anyhow. the motor and tranny are OK(i'll keep those) and the rest of the car (with the exception of a few choice items) that isn't bent/mangeled/broken will be parted out. anyone wanna sell an 82-92 camaro rolling chassis to a poor broke kid for VERY cheap in the middle GA area?

Ouch, mw!!! Really sorry to hear about this. I'll see what I can find and let you know. I run across near free thirdgen bodies fairly often.

LT1guy, thank you very much, you have no idea how much that means to me. question is now, if i can't afford to get another f-body right now, can i still hang out with you guys? the only really bad thing is, i may not be able to move out on my own here in a couple of weeks. i might have to go on the road with my parents in their new motorhome. going to different tracks all across the united states, drag racing and preaching the gospel. good and bad. kinda cool to drag race all over the country, and the fact that i am a christian and i enjoy preaching the good news, but bad cause i am 19 and would like to get out and enjoy the world a little bit. i also have an awesome job at a coffee shop in dowtown macon that i would have to quit...hmmm


my life is kinda all up in the air right now. it's crazy to think that all of this chaos was caused by me totaling my car. i guess that's what happens when you try to build a hotrod with absolutely no money.
