so i was driving down the road yesterday going to church and everything was going fine i stopped at a stop light and got up to speed and as soon as i did traffic stopped and my brakes wouldnt work. it was my first crash so i didnt know what to do except hold on and tell my friends to hold on. and in a split second i had destroyed the front of my blazer and the trunk of the oldsmobile.
my fron two body mounts are torn off and my two font frame horns are twisted backwards. now ive got to rebuild the whole front end over the next few weeks. i plan on putting on a newer front end in the process.

by the way how do i post pictures so yall can see the before and after

Upload them to photobucket (or similar) and click the yellow mountain looking button in the reply box, past the link.

Sorry to hear about your crash. Glad that it sounds like everybody was OK.

From Facebook you can try right clicking the picture, and clicking on "copy image url" if you are using Chrome, and paste that link into the yellow box here, but I'm not sure if that will work. Best bet is to have an account (they're free) on photobucket, picasaweb, flickr, etc.

OOf, that looks pretty gnarly. I assume since you mention rebuilding it, that you only had liability insurance on it?
