I guessed 10k, I was off by a little. Are you going to try to fix it or are you going to look for a shop who is capable to handle a classic?

I have a 25k agreed value policy. So there going to fix it.
Well, Im going to replace the suspension parts. The shop that just finished the last repair will be doing the body work and paint. They really did a good job and fixed some of the prior paint blemishes.
This time the entire car gets repainted!
My buddy says his car is a 20 footer and mine a 5 footer. Meaning how close you get before you see the blemishes.
This time around it should be dam near show quality!

Im really overwhelmed with this suspension upgrade stuff.
Im looking to spend about 2K in the suspension. Thats about what has been estimated to repair the suspension damage. Im thinking upper and lower front Tubular control arms are a must at minimum.
Are they all corrected to reduce camber? As a parts retailer. Im quite aware of the cheap ebay parts. But I see some good revues and even american made sets reasonable priced all I've ebay.
Then theres coil overs or not?? Swaybar needs to be upgraded?
Could somebody more familiar with all the options give me some guidance.

I would check into Detroit Speed and they are located in Charlotte ,Nc or that general area and they know their stuff. Kyle and his wife are auto engineers that used to work for GM I think before going out on their own.

Another good high quality suspension company is UMI. All of their parts are made in house in philipsburg, PA. They have great customer service and a ton of separate parts or packages for the chevelles at very reasonable prices. http://umiperformance.com/catalog/in...=index&cPath=2
