Hit ice in 2'nd, hit tree-Engine frame ?'s
I was accelerating shifted into 2nd hit ice, 1 wheel spun in rear, the other had traction, drove me right into the ditch, into a speed limit sign and about 20 more feet, a small tree about 3" in width stoped me in my tracks >< Need help! - will post pics soon if anyone here knows anything about the frame around the motor (crushed on left side front part in about 2" into radiator top part. (also holds front of fendors on) If I cut a part off a junk yarded camaro (new frame rail) will anybody be able to tell me if i can weld it bolt it on if i showed pics! I've priced a new front clip, fenders, hood, radiator 2 new air bags (not installed) and 5 mph bumper all under $1300 and plan to replace it all minus the weldin of the frame myself.
Please if anyone has any expreiance with this lemme on some input. <3

It looks like the damage is in front of the rails and mostly above them which is good. You can do some cross measuring from underneath to make sure its straight. Find bolts, holes, any location where they are the same on both sides and measure across and compare lengths on each rail.

If you need more help just yell. I did complete body and paint for over 20 years.
And if its too bad can I have your motor?
