Dent

Hey guys, tonight I regret to inform you that someone back into my 91 formula and dented in the drivers side front fender pretty good. Now I have to go to a body shop and see what the costs will be. I'll try and post pics tomorrow when I have some day light.

Re: Dent

Hopefully you were smart enough to do full coverage with insurance. Someone smashed my driver side front quarter panel in 2 spots and left without a trace and insurance covered the $1200 repair minus $200 for a deductible because it's a hit and run. Good luck!!

Here are a few pics of my dent. I also got a couple of quotes from body shops. So next stop, body shop.

Looks like a pole hit your car or some one had a bright yellow bumper

Re: Dent

Scraped the paint on the wheel quarter panel and dented the door edge & trim pretty bad in my opinion. This boneheaded mistake on my part is going to cost me $250 insurance deductible. About or above $1000 for repair at body shop.

Another reason my car retired to occasional use long ago with it never being left alone in a parking lot when I do take it out. If you have something nice, people go out of their way to damage it. I learned this from the guys with the classic and vintage cars. And I know many classic car owners who will NOT let their car out of their sight.
