need help with buying a wrecked car
I found a 95 camaro that hit a tree head on for cheap. Question is, it is fine from the doors back, everything opens fine, and fits tight, but the passenger side shock tower is back about 1 1/2" the other side is fine. Do you guys think a frame machine would have a hrd time pulling it out that little bit, and how much should I expect for that? I am going to change it over to a 98+ front end, so none of the rest of it would really be used. Oh, the motor did drop out of the K-member too. Thanks guys

Anything can be fixed but you have to figure out if the investment is worth it. If it were me I would personally keep looking. This is definately a good parts donor car but as far as putting it back on the road I think I would pass.
Good luck in what ever you decide!

pass.
I am NOT a body guy nor a mechanic though. I dont want to tell you what you SHOULD do but what I WOULD do.
Why invest all the time and energy and money into a plain jane camaro?
Take your money.. save some more.. and buy a nice camaro already in good shape.
thats what I WOULD DO.

You could put it together with this one:

But seriously, like the others said, you can find one that's not wrecked for a good price.
Autotrader has 171 listings for Camaros under $2K.

Seems like alot of work, when you can get a Camaro for under $2k, if all you're going to do is make a drag car out of it, look for one with a blown motor. Gonna be quite a bit of $$$$ to do the frame and the other work (unless you got a bodyshop hookup), so I'd keep looking
