Thanx

Thank you. I literally cried when I saw the damage. Just did a tune up lube -n- oil too! Bounced the nose off a guard rail which spun my *** end around which hit the concrete bridge! shattering the hatch glass. I think it tweaked the uni-body. I doubt she can be repaired

I hope you plan on perhaps another f-body. I know this is a tough time for you but you did mention parting out. How much for your hedmans and exhaust? tpi setup? (base, fuel rail, runners, plenum and throttle body only )

are these all of your mods?

If it were a '90, I would be interested in the SD system, but......
Actually, I really need some nice (SLP probably) TPI runners. Do you know if those Headers will work on a '86 Caprice Classic?

where are you located?

Sorry to hear that man...My baby was once a goner but I brought it back to life...a lil money but hey its almost like new. Lets see some pics of the damage maybe you could keep it. if the frame is tweaked a shop can straightedn it and fenders are cheap also. Just as around and find parts for it and u''ll be good to go again...I would try and restore it if I was u.
