wrecked camaro, in need of help

hit a trailer hitch at about 30 MPH; the radiator support and driver side bumper mount got smashed. i was thinking about cutting off a new one and welding it. what do you think i should do? has anyone fixed something like this before?

I would take it to a shop to see that the car tracks right meaning the unibody is out of alignment

Re: wrecked camaro, in need of help

that frame horn will probably need to be replaced but that core support can probably be pulled out, it really doesnt look to bad
