Sorry to see that happen. You just got it fixed from a December hit. That more then sheet metal damage. There's a very good chance you have a bent frame. At least 10k if you have it fixed by a body shop. Hope no one was hurt.

Everybodys safe. Just some hurt feelings.
As soon as I get the adjuster to look at it. Im pulling the nose and replacing all the control arms with tubular arms and replacing any other suspension damaged. Then to frame shop. Then paint and body! Was really looking forward to Run to the sun this weekend & my son was taking it to the prom Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You may have to repair the frame before any suspension parts go on. If the area where the A arms attach is bent, you will not get new A arms on it.

Im thinking of updating to tubular control arm package.
Or a rack & pinion set up. Are there such kits for converting Chevelles ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There are rack and pinion kits out there for the Chevelle. Ones I have seen run between $1500 to $3000 for the kit. Tubular package would be way cheaper and a lot less work to install.

I was actually looking at a R&P kit from unisteer which was a direct bolt on for about 1,700 or so. Looked like a nice set up.

Sounds like a good set up. I have learned from the years nothing is a direct bolt in or as easy as it seems. lol
