you guys should hardnose it if allowed it would suck to have the bolts rip out of the frame that holds your shocks on had that happen to a few of ares leaves a good hole in the frame.

we can hardnose it and we mite but the idea now is just to fix the frame and then compress the shocks as far in as theyll go, but well see on wat we do, probly work more on it in 2 weeks

ok guys, me and pipesrmylife had a long day and did alot of work,,, first off i dug up some pics of the newport when we got it and ill post those first here it is in front of the old owners garage, here it is on the trailer after getting it home ok now for wat we all did today, stripped the inside didnt take out the dash yet tho then we drilled out all the bumper shocks and took off the front driver side shock so we could work on the frame, got it a little straighter, nothing great but it should work hopefully, gotta weld it yet have several videos uploading to youtube between today and probly the next week so be sure to check those out too

^^^ Ha oh yes, i've been there before. Finding random disconnected things inside the dash. Makes you wonder how or why they unplugged them in the first place.
Also just thought of something else you should do to your engine. I never would of done it myself until it happened to me. Go through and tighten down all of the valve cover bolts a "little" tighter than they are now. Odds are they have never been touched in that vehicles life, and slowly vibrate loose over time. I have had these bolts come loose on both my driver and derby engine over time.
