Default 1996 Z28 Wreck to Riches- 56K No No

Originally it was my car. Sold it before winter and while my friend, the new owner, was driving it one slick night in December some teen who did not know how break work locked them and NAILED the front passenger clip. Frame rail was untouched but some sections just before the rail were damaged heavy. Coolant reservoir tank was smashed and the sheet metal had to be straighten and pull about 8 inches. The pics are from tear down to finished product.



Right after teardown

















Get your shine on, back to fighting form!

The owner wanted to be a little different and personally I think it looks like a vette now with all one tone like that. I told him down the road I could do them black if he wanted. And hes waiting on the chevy symbol from the dealership to arrive to put at the bottom of the bumper.
