got hit in the nose.

ok so i pulled away from a curb the other day and i got hit by a guy comming out of a parking lot on the other side of the street. he really did a number on my baby. 1989 camaro RS. he hit me where the front bumper and the left fender meet. crunched the fender really bad. mauled the bumper and the spoiler and skirt. none of the body panal damage concerns me. i found all of it for 600 bucks. im really worried about the raidiator support. the left side is bent pretty far in. its bent past the outer headlight on the lower side. im wondering if there is anyway to actually replace the raidiator support. ive been looking for like 4 days now and can find nothing. the insurance company says that since i didnt have full coverage and no one was clearly at fault i have to fix it. so i am. is there any thing i can do?

Sounds like something you need a frame puller for...

I had an accident in mine, found one for around $60 at a scrap yard, and cut/welded the new one in...although it was just the support itself that was bent not any other frame pieces around that area.

Re: got hit in the nose.

the support is welded or bolted to the frame, if its bent the frame is bent
