Default Cheapest way to save it...

I recently purchased a 1979 camaro and i love the thing to death. I've only had the car about a month now and its really grown on me. Last night however i was coming home and a bunch of deer where in the road. Me not having antilock brakes locked up the tires and hit a guard rail at about 35-40 MPH. My hearts broken. The damage is only front end and the front right quarter panel thank god, but i was wondering if anybody knew the cheapest way to save my baby, or could maybe help me out and hook me up with somebody who has parts. I would appreciate it to no end. Thank you.

The body parts on these cars are cheap as dirt... www.yearone.com www.classicindustries.com they have the stuff you need. Also, get us some pics so we can see what you need done. There are alot of back yard body men here that can help.

You've seen 'Ol Yeller, right? Just as in the case of that lovable mutt, your best bet may be to put that Camullet out of its misery.

As in the case of Yeller, sometimes it's for the best.

Take pride in the fact that you're the one sending your faithful friend to that graveyard in the sky...

do NOT scrap out that car. take some pics to show the damage, and everyone will tell you what you'll have to do.

parts are cheap, whole cars are expensive.

79's are pretty easy to get parts for. Why in the hell would you scrap that car over a fender bender? Sounds like someone's trying to get your car cheap.
