Frame Damage
Frame Damage
I have a 91' Rs 'vert, when I bought the car some frontend damage was hidden from me. Both front frame stubs were crushed, then hammered back out, covered with bondo, and then painted to hide it. Well as you have probably guessed, the frame is shedding its bondo. I have located several good frame stubs and radiator supports in mid 80's cars, I planning to cut them off and weld them to my car to repair the damage. The cars are Berlinettas, will their parts work with my Rs nose and gfx? My car also needs a new hood, can the Z28 power blisters be mounted on any 82' to 92' flat hood? Is the bracing the same?

The blisters won't fit on a flat hood. The hood needs to be from a Z28 or Iroc.

I guess I got lucky. I'm doing the same thing right now. Bought an '89 crashed, but he hit an SUV so it never hit the bumper. The engine stopped the car. I used all the pieces off of an '87. The only problem I ran into is that the molding from the doors doesn't line up with the molding on the fenders (D'OH). Other than that everything lined up real well.
Around here somewhere is a post about some blisters on ebay that are made to fit on flat hoods, they are a little bigger, but I couldn't tell from the pic.
