New 1975 Camaro on fire. Help
#3
These cars are 10,000 dollars in my neck of the woods. This one was $1000. I ain't got $10000. I have two hands and an iron will. I'm not trying to sound like a grouch but I didn't come here to get told to go buy a 10,000 car.

That car is toast, you can find one in better shape and fix it up for a lot less than you'd spend trying to bring that thing back. Just the interior would cost a small fortune. If you found that one for $1K you can find another.
Maybe you are just a troll but whatever,I calls 'em as I sees 'em.

I'm no troll. I'm a guy who came to this forum looking for info on how to fix this. A Honda exploded next to it. I'm not throwing it in the trash. 90% of the damage is parts that bolt on I just need to know what all tail panels I need. It doesn't have to be perfect. Im not looking for a 10,000 car. Just a cool looking one.

Well good luck with it then, you can probably source the plastic bits etc. at https://www.camarocentral.com/ as well as interior and wiring but it'll be expensive. Also https://www.rickscamaros.com/
Keep an eye on eBay and craigslist for parts and or a parts car or project car and maybe you'll get lucky. I see cancelled projects all the time with lots of new parts when people give up or have to sell for whatever reason. I got some great pieces for my '01 SS that way,brand new in the box UMI tube K-member and A-arms and a set of Strano tube heavy duty sway bars for about 1/2 price of new from a cancelled project. Dude sold the car when his girl got knocked up and still had the parts new in the boxes. There's stuff out there but you have to surf for it and wait with cash in hand to get deals.

I'll help.
Hey well ineed more pictures and angles of it you know so ican see. If the sheet metal is weakened but you must determine how hot it really got and how weak if it did , that it is or not.
Hey don't despair ican see your interior so idon't think it got that hot actually. ithink it is better than what iam making it sound like so dont worry. show me more pictures and let me see it more. it doesn't look as bad as ifirst thought but looking at this limited photo, it looks like mostly the paint burnt off. so you could blast this thing and it may be all ok. that is the best way to see everything how it truly is. this picture reveals LITTLE. more pictures shall reveal MORE.

if you have the knowledge to repair it you should know what parts you need
anything rubber
glass
tires
interior carpet radio gauges seats etc
head/tail lights
complete wiring
engine depending what went inside it
gas tank
write down just what you can see NOW that needs replaced and go
on line and check prices
just a ? if it wasn't your fault why didn't you tell the other insurance company to fix it?
