Mechanics chime in on frame quote please!
ok so i cracked my car up a little and the front end is a little messed i hit a rock long story straight at the bottom rad. support that goes across to each sub frame? and it tweaked that peice and the top is tweaked
fenders and hood and stuff like that im not worried about, i want to know a possible quote on just the frames straightened back out or re welded a new peice and straightened if i brought the car in with all the front end torn off ..cuz my airbox and radiater and all that is pushed in weird ways and i cant even mount the air lid..
quotes please any kind of idea, !!!!

frame time at my shop is up to 90 an hour, and we charge for set up and measure, if the core support can be fixed i suggest not taking anything off we will need all that stuff to square up the front end
i wouldnt do it with the fron ent off i would want everything on so i can make it perfect, with that stuff off then iam just stabbing in the dark,
new gm core support is close to 500 bucks, plus the radiator, maybe condenser, this is going to cost you more then 1,000, so why not pay your detucable and be done with it

Sometimes you can straighten the lower support if its not to bad and reuse it. explain to a shop its out of pocket , they should be able to tell you close to what it should cost after they look at it.

dude that really sucks, like i stated above its goin to be very costly
and i personlly would not even want the job if its customer pay, knowing the front end is as jacked up as you say it is, i would want more frame time and more body time, and could not get it because your paying out of pocket
good luck is all i can say
btw.......we are body fender men, or frame men
