99 V6 Accord frame damage
So i may or may not have got into an accident recently, and i bent my radiator support, i was simply wondering how much would you guys estimate how much the repair for this would be? i got a dad who rebuilds/builds hondas for a living but he doesn’t specialize in frame work, so i was hoping to find someone who could help me out on this

Looks like only the upper part of the rad core support is the only damage(structurally). Deer?
Close the hood, reattach the hood release, get a chain and wrap it around your favorite tree and bolt it to the core support. Back the car up and give it a solid thump. When teh hood flattens back down you will be 90% done in getting the car back to road worthiness.

if spending money on it makes you feel better, sites like Rockauto sell radiator supports (the part shown bent in your photo) for ~$70 before shipping and hoods around $100.
when your parts arrive, disassemble your front end, drill out the spot welds holding the radiator support on and remove it. replace, re-weld, paint to prevent rust and reassemble.

Yup.
Reversal of the impact is what is usually done to get the major components back to square.
Once everything is squared up all the mangled bits then are removed/cut off and new parts are installed, checked for fitment, adjusted, then removed again for paint before finally being reinstalled.
