Ouch!! Sorry to hear about your misfortune


I just ordered my Tigershark from West Coast Muscle Cars, they are a forum vendor. Excellent customer service,

If I can plug my FS thread, I have a hood sale if you're interested,

I hope your repairs turn out all right.

Sorry to hear that Ryan -

Greg told me earlier about your accident.

Glad it didn't come through the windshield at you.

Check out corvetterecycling.com and see if they have some torch red factory painted panels - might save some cash -

best regards -

Pics would be interesting. However the important thing is you're OK. And the Vette is repairable with a few additional mods. Might want to find that deer and thank him/her.

Sorry to hear this, I have lots of deer and other forms of wildlife around here and I always worry about hitting something. Good luck with the repairs.

Glad it's not worse, and you're ok.
I hit one last year, and with fairly minor damage I think it was $4500.
Good luck.
