I only have one pic but how much or how hard would it be to fix this? I am looking at making a drag car and electrical is no issue, just to make it pretty again.

I'd get another chassis, it'd be cheaper. Especially if you parted that red car out on top of that. But thats if you're able to swap engines etc.. Even if you fix it, it will still never be perfect. Ever.

that thing is for sure finished
looks like extensive frame damage for sure. plus your suspension could be off and adjusting your caster would be a bitch if it affected it

yea looks pretty bad. How about taking apart the panels so we can see the entire frame.

It's impossible to give an estimate with just simple outer image. Different shops charge different prices. It can be 4-5hundred or 4-5 thousand. Who knows..

the upper frame rail is pushed in for sure i guarantee. ive seen less of a crash and completely own the frame rail.....240 frame rails are weak they bend and fold like paper!

cant see shit
take off the fender or at least pop the hood
fender hood and headlights is nothing
if the frame underneath is slightly kinked you can hammer it out
if the frame underneath is really messed up its done

I love how people don't know parts from their ass. The frame isn't even touched. The upper fender apron is damaged, but that's easy as hell to replace and is not structural at all. The frame rails, down on the bottom, are your only concern, everything else above is cake.
Still though, I'd part it for the sole fact that you'd make more, and it's one less car on the road.

Part it, keep what is most valuable, put that stuff on the next one, take a sawzall to the old one to discourage anyone from repeating whatever got it to that point.
