Default well shoot!



they say the road to hell is paved with good intentions. my roommate was going to surprise and put my new fuel pump on. and this is what happened! the corner of my misaligned hood caught on the right front. got the body guy stopping by after his day job for the damage. cant be mad at my friend. his heart was in the right place

Sometimes it is good to have friends, when things go bad and turn out good.

Wow, sorry to hear and see.
Cant blame the friend replacing the pump, unless you told him first about the hood. Great your painters fixing it for free though.
