Damn man !! Like everyone else I'm happy you weren't hurt, and that the car is not hurt worse than it is. Hope it doesn't cost you too much to get it looking great again

WOW!!!!!!!! Glad your OK!!!!
Damn, all that for a cheap little freeze plug.
Glad your ok, that's all that really matters!
Still fast for going sideways trying to drag a wall along with you, what do you run when you don't take detours?

The way the fender was crunched,I didn't think it could be repaired:no:
So I loaded the car up and brought it to one of my friends body shop on Saturday just hoping to pull the fender back enough to be able to open the door.

Last coupla monthes the money flowed out faster than it came in. Started working on the body this past Saturday.
Pulled the fender out and most everything else fell into place.Fender came off to finish stretchin & shrinkin to get it as close as possible. Joe says he's gunna fix the original fender.I'm still buying a pair of fenders and a complete grille from Texas and looking at a rechromed steel front bumper.I have not purchased front rims & tires yet,waiting on all the metal and bodyshop expenses first.
I'm confident a few more passes will happen before putting it away for the winter.

When they started pulling with the come along,I had to sit in the car and hold the brakes to keep the car from moving.They just hooked up to an upright I-beam:eusa_shifty:

I thought I saw your car in primer & fixed, then repainted with a white fiberglass hood, cut-out for the blower & installed... in a recent thread post on here somewhere... unless it was an old photo maybe... now I'm confused, that's not hard to do lately thou...LOL...
