I asked him if he knew how much this was going to cost and he said sure he used to have one.
Nice to hear he was a stand up guy. BTW - I like your hood stripes. Where did you get them?

Sorry to see that happen to your Vette! Really glad the guy was honest and you didn't have the added stress of a hit and run! Hopefully all goes well getting all of the repairs done and getting the Vette back on the road! Best of luck!

I'm glad the guy owned up. Accidents are going to happen in life. It's what you do after the accident that shows what your made of. Lots of people would have just taken off.

Well, at least the guy was stand up enough to let you know it happened and stuck around. The Tiger Shark front end will look great on the car.

Sorry to see that. Looks like that section of the fender just snapped in the process. Hope it gets fixed to your satisfaction quickly.

Give the guy a browny point for being a standup guy and doing the right thing. So many times you find out about damage when you go out to get in or someone ellse reports it.
