Anyone know where to find a complete front clip for a 98-02 Camaro? I have a 2002 Z28 camaro 6 speed car that belongs to a customer and im debating whether its worth fixing or scrapping out. The car has been hit really hard in the nose and needs every single internal item up front. Brackets, A/C stuff, fenders, nuts and bolts, bumper styrofoam thingy etc.

Here's the kicker. This car has 971 miles on it. Its freakin brand new and has been rotting away since the day it got whacked. Someone welded in a bunch of NOS GM structure and has the basic thing roughed out with the frame rack and it COULD be fixed. Anyone know of a complete body shell for sale? Id take a 6 cylinder car since most of the crap is the same.

Its also missing the side ground effects, alternator and A/C compressor and a bunch of other things that would have survived the crash. Im sure all that was lost during the bank reposession it went thru which further complicates a rebuild. lemme know what ya got! Thanks.

Sounds like a good start to a dedicated drag car ;)

Ohhh yeah it would definitely be good for that! I can tell by the multiple pulls its had and the way things line up, its not quite right in the strut tower areas for panel alignment and thats the point they got frustrated and quit welding on it. Things fit close but it would be doing the typical cheats and damage control to finish it and hope all the body panels align when its done. Kinda sketchy at best BUT......i am the king of hack and making things look GOOD. Lol

I think i can get whats left of Marshalls 99 camaro front end which will supply most of the small parts. The labor to fix the improper front end repairs basically totalls the car for the customer so the new plan is to put that motor and trans in the owners 56 chevy like originally planned. Im going to buy the low mile carcass and cowl cut it thru the windshield posts and make it an honest car again with a whole new nose. Then ill supply my own drivetrain.....and turbo. You knew i was gonna say turbo didnt ya? LOL
