But boy am I getting a lot of negative feedback from all around me. Don't get it. I've seen a hole lot worse and they had nothing but praise from there repair shops.
The reason why I say what I say b/c it is the truth it is not being negative,the reason you look on the net and say, that wreck is worse than mine and they fixed that is b/c you don't know what your looking at,that's like you and me going to the doctor both of us with broken legs and you expecting your leg to heal as fast as mine and your bill to be the same as mine and your pain meds the same as mine,

Try telling Mike flying a plane looks easy and go try it.

I wasn't really referring to you. I've took what you said and I determined beyond a doubt it can be fixed.

It can be fixed but like I said don't under estimate the damage.
Anything can be fixed,time,money,skills,tools,patients and so on determine length and quality of the repair.

Well, already having a stripped interior and pretty much on-track to be a track-only machine helps a lot. It means you can see and work on things easily, there's no added cost of tearing out all the interior and then re-assembling it just to do some low-level body/frame work. It also means you're willing to cut corners on aesthetics so long as it drives straight, and/or replace stuff with tube frame bits. It's totally doable. Keep the faith Spohn .

the damage is not that bad, i worked as a autobody tech in my previous career and my dad owns an autwrecking, he would buy totalled cars at the auctions and have them repaired to resell. it will def need to go to a frame shop to have the inner structure straightened out and its hard to tell if the rear quarter needs replaced. so it can be fixed and still drive straight once the suspension parts are replaced

Yea the parts should be here tomorrow. Put I'm going on mini vacation so hopefully next weekend I can get it to the body shop. Just somewhat worried about the sub frame until its actually measured. It's what you can't see that scares me.

Car is finally at the body shop. Won't be going on frame machine for a couple days though. They are going to go ahead and do all the body work also. They will be dropping the sub frame reguardless to make the pull problem free. He was pretty positive about all repairs. Even though the cross memeber that's between the shock tower was kinked a little and that can be a little concern. That's why a frame machine can pull 10 tons I guess.

I really felt good when he showed me another car that was bent to hell and now the thrust angle was perfect on it. That in the long run is the main outcome.
