Frame Repair
I wanted to make a thread to show how some frame damage that in most eyes would be a total lose can be fixed with a experienced frame straightener.
Here is the unfortunate pic of my wreck.
FIXED
Big thanks to Tadd at TKmotorsports.net in South Carolina. The guy has brought many so called "totaled" Corvettes back to life with his frame work.

The three main pieces look to be to be items number 41 (there's a RH and a LH) and item #34. Prices in the $2300-$2500 price range (~) for those three items.
Very nice work indeed.

yes but the car will be for sale one day. and they're is no record of the frame being bent up. a frame damaged C5 is not worth as much as an original car.

correction 1- it takes zero talent to have a shop fix your car and zero talent to wreck a 500hp corvette on a straight highway.
also the only thing that got crushed was your corvette when we raced. id post up the video but the females in here will get upset.
