This happened a couple hours ago. A kid pulled out in front of me making a left out of a parking lot. He admitted it was his fault to the cops he also got a ticket. At least were both O.K.

I sure hope they don't try to total it out. Otherwise I'm gonna get really pissed.

That's it! I think I am going to hide my car somewhere!

Sweet ride, I think you will be able to fix her and I dont think the insurance co. will total it. Looks bad from the pics, however does not look major by no means. 1500 to 2000 grand? I think they will fix it, if not raise a royal **** storm.

The damage does'nt seem to bad. no major frame damage. I'm not sure about the hood though it has a couple cracks in it.

All I Know is it's Miller time tonight(or Bud).

That really blows, man. I hope you can get it fixed.

This post reminds me. There's a Maui Blue Formula 350 at the P&P in Pasadena. It was hit in the side but it's very repairable. They won't sell it though.

Oh yeah, you can fix it. Most of the cost will be painting the parts to look as good as the paint that the rest of the car has!

It does look like a pretty easy fix. make sure you have all of your reciepts for the kid's ins. co. when they look at it. With a fistful of invoices, they should only have the option to fix it. BTW, what kind/size of wheels are those? They look killer.

Sorry for your loss man! Blue is my favourite color!

In this day and age, I'm amazed that kid admitted it was his fault. Most people just can't be responsible and admit fault when they screw up .

On monday I'll be getting some estimates. I'm gonna bring it to the guy that painted it and a few other high dollar places in town.

I looked at the hood a little closer today. It looks like underside of the hood seperated from the top side in a few places. The top side has a few cracks in it. I'd rather not have this one fixed.

The rims are American Racing 16x8 I don't think they make them any more.

Hey man maybe you can get a 85-90 TA Front end, I think that would look even better, and maybe the insurance company will pay for it.

F-bodies are on a uni-body platform!

Do you have any before pics. I want to see what that hood looks like with that nose. Thats possibly a option for another thirdgen...

Sorry to hear about the car man, at least the hood looks salvagable!

Well I finally got the word on my car. The insurance is gonna give me enough to fix it. I pretty happy about that. But there's one problem I've been thinking about buying a Fourth Gen T/A or Formula and that money would make a good down payment. If I have my car fixed I've been thinking of haveing the whole car repainted another color. You guys have any suggestions????

Thanks
Frank
