yeah but it would be but in my area everyone wants an arm and a leg for the parts but I still need the front clip the frame where my LH fender and Radiator bolt on 2 are smashed in and I need then fixed and the metal is effed up so I need new sections... from the yards all the parts are well over 700 bucks when I can buy a full car and use the parts then sell the rest a make my money back.... hopeful it will turn out that I don’t pay for this car with the money I make from selling the left over’s to the Mustang Yards...

Cutting would be the easy part...
Build a jig first and cut off more than you really need. I don't know if you're thinking about taking the entire front subframe (do it if you can) or just cutting the frame rails and patching them in (been done many times, especially on the Spike TV shows).
Just take your time and measure everything and you'll be good. Are you sure your current subframe is bent?

yeah the whole section where the battery, and radiator sit are bent to hell... along with the hood LH fender, cracked radiator also the reservoir... and I think the thing in front of the radiator is crushed, the thing that heats the trany fluid I believe..?? I don’t know but its bad I think and the front frame where the bumper comes out is crushed and ripped off on one side... ill take some pics and post them then maybe u can take them and use paint or somethin and show me where I should cut or something I don’t know im in the dark on this one...
