I would absolutely walk away from that car. It will never be right again and from my experience with a couple friends that had a similar situation, you will end up having way more money into it in the end than even quoted. With all the great deals on cars out there now, you will end up with something even nicer. Plus, you can make a few bucks on the side parting that one out 
Glad you are ok

I didn't want to walk away from the car at first, my only thoughts were
how i was going to fix her, make her a little faster, and get her back on the road. It's readily apparent that the majority here feels it's gone. Done.
Which counts for alot, you folks have more the just a passing fling with
these cars. If she had a chance at a come-back, i have no doubt you guys would have pointed me in the right direction.
Still looking for a "clean-sheet" car......

I'm looking for a "clean sheet" car. I'm in no hurry.
No, the truck is a Vortec V6. A friend of mine has a firehawk and felt bad for me, so he got me a reeeeeeeally good deal on the truck.
A one owner '96 with 150k.
Non-smoker too.
Kinda glad it isn't a 454. I need a gas saver truck in this town.Hahaha.

I'm still working on the car, finding alot of good parts! I pulled the Kooks headers off last week, and believe it or not, with the front end crushed in like that, the passenger header only "kissed" the k member! George and those guys make a DAMM solid header, that's for sure!
Yeah, i'm still looking for a "clean-sheet" car. I'll keep this thread updated when i find something.

Well i pulled the engine and the trans yesterday.
I see ALOT of good parts here, and i've almost decided to make the next car
a bit of a sleeper. Bigger cubes, mild cam, toned down exhaust.
So i should have a good bit of parts for sale real soon.
I'll keep you guys posted.
