Default Possible project car, Check out pics
Can you guys do me a favor and look at these pics and tell me if it looks salvagable. I'm getting it for a sweet deal if i want it.
It's a 93' Camaro.

I wouldn't mess with a car that bad. Better off to start with a shell that you know is straight.

I would only mess with it if its straight from the firewall to behined the rear seats and tube the front and back. If you want a nice street car to build then I would pass on it.

It will be a straight up stripped out drag car w/ a LQ4-TH400-9"rear. I already have my SS for a DD/street car.

How hard is it to do a tubular frontend?

Depends on how good you are at tubular welding and bending tubing. You would have to do something more like the second pic and I would cage the car then do the front and tie it in. Center of the car better be dead straight though.

If its Cheap enough Id get it sell anything salvadgeable then sell the rest for scrap.

Wouldnt do anykind of rebuilding though especially if you had to ask if doing a tubular front end is hard.

Looks like the front glass is busted also, I would pick up a straight car for a grand or so.

Me, I could never build a V6 car regardless of what engine I put in it, would have to be a Z.

Uh, why? No-one would EVER care or EVER know the difference.
