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, !!!!

your probablly looking at a few hundred bucks if it just needs straightened, but if you need new core support welded then it would prob be maybe around 1k?

Figure body shop labor to be in the 38-50$ range, and usually there's a 4 hour minimum to set up a frame machine for a pull.

k thanks guys do you think thats the cheapest go about?

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.

thanks fella's ill try that!

bdyman

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

good lord we are getting frame 55-58, body 40-44, mechanic 55-58, and paint 28-30. and state farm will only pay 40 mechanic because we can do it in the body shop, and 50 frame

bdyman

state farm here is 65 body/ 90 frame/ 85 mechanical/ 75 elcetrical/ 65 paint
on commission at 40%, and the shop labor is the same, so when iam buisy i make a killin
