Like I said I am here. Just let me know - can run up to Philly and help out anytime.

I think Bill and Kevin know good body guys down at the Jersey Shore for body work.

no damage to the bumper or anything else just all removed to prevent overspray, scratches, and blending. They "Magnum" did an excellent job. Especially matching the LeMans Blue.

thanks Chuck

first, before i can get out of the gate, i think i need to get a fuel pump to install... ill keep in touch...

hopefully the chap i have on tap will pull it off (luckily my damage is limited to the one piece pretty much .. i mean there is some undercarriage damage but i guess i can take care of that myself - although this guy i am going to see is HIGHLY recommended by a fellow CF Boi so hopefully ....wont get drilled more than 500 or so to tack on this work...) ill keep you posted

my original quote for the rear bumper (replace rear qtr panel, repair bumper (and rods //etc underneath) 3500$ - a quote from our friend in at 900 (provided no parts need replacing...its just a slight indenation and paint damage for that ..mainly...)

since the front fender cost is 199 -- im hoping he can paint it and fit it for 300 or so and ill still come out of the previous ordeal and this updated/added disaster with some funds to spend on tires/sat nav or ....advil
