making body whole
i have a 71 corvette, years ago i thought i wanted a flip front end, so i called a guy up and he told me how to take it off. now years gone by the car sits in a heap and i want to rebuild it but now i dont want a flip front. i know its hard sight unseen but is it possible to give me a ballpark figure at what it would cost to reattach the front clip. thanks

Well "Sight unseen" I would say this.
If you do it yourself, then just the cost of the glue.
If you have a shop do it then lots of $$$
Really if you can post some pics we will be able to give you a lot better advice. There are so many variables here, like did the fenders crack when you removed it? how many of the parts have been lost / misplaced / used for something else, etc.....
Gather up all the parts, make an assessment of what you have and what you need, inspect the parts for damage, then take a lot of pictures and post them up here.
This forum is a goldmine of knowledge and the members here help you every bit of the way, how do I know this? I bought my basketcase without ever working on a Corvette in my life, but because of the people here I was able to put it back together "Correctly"
