Sorry to hear about this. I saw your car at the Cruise-in last May and it is awesome. Good luck getting it repaired.

Don't worry.... black is the easiest to match... most of the time you don't even need to blend black or white whe painting a new panel on a car. She'll be all better in no time.

After looking at everything I saw the strap was not broke at all. When we went to strap down another car the D ring was split in half.
Fethaerlite uses Aluminum D rings I guess for weight

That is terrible. I hope they wont have to blend the fender. You know, if you are selling it, you can just add more flame trails through the center to break it up if there are any slight differences.
...beautiful car...could have been a lot worse...HAPPY B-DAY

Man....that really sucks Jim. Hopefully you can get that blended in perfectly.
No matter how well they fix it, you will always know it is there, but hopefully no one else will.
