One year later.
Been a year since I hit the deer but she's back. It took 4 months to get a new front clip and 10 months to find a qualified bodyman. In 30 minutes I'm headed to a local cruise-in. Really looking forwarded to it. Thanks to all of you who offered help and encouragement. Bill

Holy crap Bill, did the deer continue to chew on the fibreglass before he/she passed on ? The after photos are great, terrific job and I am glad that you jumped on it and got her back on the road in a timely fashion !

Good for you.....
Bambi's are cute and everything, but they can cause havoc in many ways. A relative of mine barely escaped death several years ago when the car in front of him hit a doe, which flew over the top of that car and into the windshield of my relative's '66 Shelby Mustang Clone.
Then I contracted Lyme Disease a couple of years ago while living in a northern state. A terrible illness that I would not wish upon some of my worst enemies. The scary thing is, you can be cured of that Deer-Tick borne disease, go right back outside and get bitten again.
But back to your Vette......looking good.

As special thanks to you Scott. I know I asked too many questions but you were patient and helped me through the rough spots. I owe you, buddy. Bill
