wrecked my 78
All i can say is F*I&%$*, Got T-boned by a foreign piece of sheet doing 50+. Didn't see her behind a van making a right turn as I was turning left. My fault for not seeing her and thank God we are both ok but my baby is a mess.....pics to follow

OHHHH DUDE!!!
Well the important thing is that youre still kicking it and around to tell the sad tale. It is a shame though. Again, you can always rebuild a car, but a life...not so much.

Aaarrrgggghhhh!!! Sorry to hear. Really sucks to have something so fun taken away. Is it going to be a total or can you rebuild it?

Update:Talked to insurance company and I am insured up to 11grand.Going to need 2 fenders, bumper,spoiler,and suspension parts, plus think frame may be bent. Hope I can repair for under 11 grand. If so would I be smart to have whole car re-painted? It was all original....oh well I am still sick over it!!!!
Thanks all!
Thanks all!
