    The side planes on the wing didn't help straighten you back out? Works for NASCAR, you would've thought it would work in this application too...


    Sucks you R3v'd it but it looks like there can be some frame rail damage with that hit and most definately is junk now. Part it and find another

    Until I quickly get another car, I am afraid to open the hood. It is jambed back into the catches and if I pry it open, it may not close. Currently, this is my one and only daily (daytime only) driver. Note I say daily because of the lack of a couple of headlights and no turning signals. Here in the very rural area I can do this for a little while until i find a cheap temporary car.
    I will post some closer pics real soon!
    Any suggestions on getting a jambed hood open, short of cutting it?

    Can you take some better/closer pics? Some with the hood open?

    Looks fixable IMO.

    Needing Crash Rebuild Advice!

    I am in need of some knowledge and I know I can to the right place.

    It had been really cold here in Kentucky, a front come in and the air temperature rose, but the rain froze instantly on all the cold bridges. In two hours four were killed and many more cars were totaled. Our bridges are not flat or strait, many actually curve, with a slight tilt here in the mountains.
    I spun out on one of those ice coated bridge and could and could not recover! I hit the guard rail and bounced off.

    I love my car and want to rebuild it. I drove it home and that is not a problem. Runs great and the alignment is still correct. We had to finish pulling off the bumper and pry the fender, horn and air dam away from the tire






    I know I will need the following:
    Hood
    Right Fender
    Right Inner Fender
    Bumper
    Bumper Mounts/Shocks
    is Air dam
    Right Headlight Bucket Assembly
    Fog Lights
    Kidney Grill
    Right Side Grill

    I think there will have to be a little straitening of the front right corner, between the radiator support and inner fender?

    Any suggestions or guidance will be appreciated.

    Thank You
    Dennis

    P.S. If anyone has soem of the parts for sale, please let me know.
