Welcome to the Forum!
I would suggest posting your pictures in the C6 sections to get this in front of others who may have dealt with approximately the same damage. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...-2005-2013-14/
Also, you may want to put this up in the paint/body at https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/paint-body-138/.
Best wishes with this if you tackle the damaged C6 Z06!

Welcome to the forum. I see that you have already posted your question in the Paint/Body section. Hopefully some of the experienced members there can point you in the right direction.

Tough to say exactly what all is damaged on that project, could be a money pit.....Like Clint Eastwood once said " Well, do you feel lucky"?

Hard pass. If it is salvaged for that damage, you cannot fix it. Best of luck on a future purchase.
