Need assistance - engine removal

[Larry Herman]

Looks like you got it out!

Yeah!  No animals were harmed in the removal process.

Hopefully you'll get good news from the shop.  It would be a shame to have such a nice car taken out of service.

Ya know, that red car doesn't look too bad in the pictures.  Since you have already done all of the hard work, I wonder how much it would cost to put the body on a frame machine and get it straightened out?

What if it was really cheap?

That's the next step, finding out if it can be salvaged.

I'm actually looking for recommendations for shops to do this sort of work. I'd prefer someone that would come look at the car in my shop first. I can't afford to cart it all over SE PA, unless someone wants to volunteer a truck and trailer ;-)

There are good shops out there who can do that.  I actually like Holberts body shop.  I have first-hand experience with them, paid out of pocket and they were easy to deal with and quite reasonable.

That being said, when you find a shop, let me know as I would love to schedule a technical session around it actually being pulled right in front of us.  I know that Holberts will do that.

I'd help you get it over there.  Your best bet would be to take some really good, detailed pictures to get a first estimate.
