Hello,
I just picked up a 1968 J Code Road Runner that was hit pretty hard in the front passenger side and was used as a parts car until someone realized what they had. Other than the front end damage and missing pieces the car is extremely solid with very little rust. Unfortunately the frame was tweaked during the collision. I was thinking of either replacing the frame rail, shock tower, inner fender and radiator support from a donor B Body in one piece or try and straighten the frame and replace the shock tower, inner fender and radiator support in one piece from a donor car. If possible I would also like to try and preserve the matching Order Number from my original upper radiator support as well.
I noticed a thread on a similar topic to this one that had some really good information so I thought I would join. I would love to get thoughts from folks who have done this type of work before.
