[align:right][/align] How bad was the damage from that wheelstand Tony? theinner fenders are buckled right at the firewall. hard to get a pic because of the color of the car. The K frame seems to have taken the majority of the landing. WHen you open the doors, they are about 1/4" off (they drop )

You'll get it fixed-up and working/looking right, no doubts here. Let's us know if you need any parts for the rebuild. If you are going to add bars into the engine compartment now, I'd run them Forward of the engine to aid additionally in protecting the engine in the event of a front impact. I will put a lot pf pics of the process. AND im already cringing of adding any weight to this thing. With the tube K the car will finally be under 3000lbs and i can legally be 2975.....thanks for the offer of the parts

My son had to fix the same damage after Jbody tried to take flight in Irwindle a couple years ago. He did add snout bars, behind the inner fenders and had it on the frame machine to straightener her out again. Jay also needed a new K member built and got some wheelie bars too:)
I am sure yours like his will be good as new when you are done.

Looking good man! Glad to see the ol girl getting fixed-up! Can't wait to see how it runs with the new powerplant man!
