I'll start off with what I'm working with thus far;

I've removed both fenders and everything forward of the radiator support. I hit a concrete base to a light pole and it pretty much pushed everything back. Quick question is;

How do I remove the radiator support? I tried dremmeling the spot welds but that takes forever, maybe just drill them out?




Running question is;
Does anybody near central NC have a front clip I can buy off them?

Ok I'll check out sears when I can bum a ride (thats my only car in the picture, lol). Yea, my buddy is a welder so he's handling that part of the reconstruction, I just need to prep it.

its called a spot weld cutting bit and they come in 3 or 4 sizes get the correct size it makes life easy. Also when using only drill the frist layer out not straight through. Plasma works if you have access to one
