Hello to every one.......I'm new here and had a question any help would be appreciated. I just bought a 1984 Camaro Z28 for a few hundred $$, at first it was for the motor and tranny and didn't pay much attention to the front end damage that had parked it. After getting the car home and after a little clean up I fell in love with the car (T-Tops/interior is mint/HO motor/4 disc brakes). I have a hood, fenders (the inner fenders are fine) but the radiator support and the mounts for the front reinforcement bumper are bent bad but no frame damage. Is the only way to replace the radiator supports (upper and lower) with a welder and grinder is it even worth the trouble? I'm mecanicaly inclined but not the best when it comes to body work.

 

I say if it's that nice of a car and you have the parts and know how then go for it.

 

drill out a few spot welds holding the entire support in.....place the new in make sure everything lines up and weld her down.....it aint like its a new quarter panel or somthing

 

Yea as long as the frame is good in her, go for it. Save it instead of scrapping it, and besides, don't know where you are but it would probably be easier fixing the front end than to get all that mint interior, the disk rear axle, and all the other good parts out.

 

Thanks.....I think I just needed a few people to tell me she was worth saving. First thing monday morning I'm going to start.

 

nice! another thirdgen saved

 

Take the time to scribe lines were the parts were, before pulling them off, to help line up were the new one should be.

 

It makes it so much easier, better, and faster.
