I know nothing about gmt800 bodies/bodywork. How removable is the entire front clip? Inner fenders/core support from the firewall?

Did they go full ford retard with intergrated inner fender and core assembly or is it all still gm style full removable?

How likely is firewall damage after significant impacts?

I dont think my frame is damaged but obviously the front clip is completely smoked. If the firewall is expected to be crushed i dont even want to bother. Pass front door still opened/closed perfectly.

Said thing is it ran perfectly so if the firewall is done im yanking the motor and selling the parts.

All fully removable. Take a look at the c shaped fender brace going to the firewall and the hood hinge in the cowl area. Even if bent I bet it would pull out easy.
 
Unless it's seriously fucked up a bent firewall or A-pillar doesn't really effect the usefulness of the vehicle. It just means you have to waste an extra hour shimming shit to get all the gaps good enough that nothing rubs.
 
Gm style fully removeable up to firewall.

Sucks this had to happen
