Default i broke it

hey i was trying to pull my car outa my freinds driveway we had about 2 feet of snow and we were towing it i had the chain hooked to the frame under the radiator and wen the truck tires stoped spining and hit pavement it ripped reall hard bending the frame and putting a hole in the radiator i was wondering is it possible slash worth it to try and fix the frame there under the radiator.

Your gonna have to bring io a body shop and see what they can do. Why is it that so many people think that you can drive these cars in the snow? Most of them have low profile, wide tires on them that do not have a good tread pattern for anything but dry pavement. So all of yu, smarten up and get a beater.....J/K a mustang will do.

Next time dont try pulling a uni-body car by the frame. Fourth gen f-bodys have to be towed with the tire cradles er w/e they are called, there are no tow points or hooks anywhere on the car.

It can be pulled out of the snow via the front if you know what the hell your doing. The lower control arms can handel the tug if done properly.
