So last thursday im turning onto the street my house is on, and its raining, and my front tires have no sidewalls, and well i hydroplaned over a curb and hit a telephone pole guide wire. Heres the bad pics











and then look what i got yesterday!







luckily a family friend is one of the best body guys in louisville, and hes teaching me how to do body work, prep and paint all these parts, at no cost to me except materials!

 

It doesn't look too bad you shouldn't have too much work to do.

 

it wasnt that bad, the fender had a crease in it and a few larger dents so i got an oem one for 25 bucks off craigslist, the hood had a 2 inch hole straight through it from where the cable snapped, and the bumper cover was done. But i got the cowl hood, the fender, and the bumper for a total of 495 so it wasnt too bad

 

That is a great excuse to buy a cowl hood! lol

 

also a great excuse to learn how to paint, luckily a family friend is one of the best painters in louisville and is teaching me. im going to paint the cowl part of the hood black and the rest of the panels victory red. should look good, then im getting my pinstriping redone by Bob Taylor.

 

i want the cowl

 

Lol, the cowl looks sick, Wish I could hydroplane and magically get some family members to do body work With my luck though I would probably smash a whole side.

 

They have 4.3 High Output decals (assuming that's the engine you have) that you put on the sides of the cowl and it looks sweet.

 

Thats not as bad as when i hit a guide wire, dont have any pics of it, but i hit it with a 92 bonneville, crunched the hood, broke out headlights, broke some plastic off one fender, and both of the unibody rails were bent up in the front...........i also hit the side of a driveway (without a culvert luckily) and jumped about 6 ft in the air and cleared 30 ft to the wire

 

does lmc truck sell em?

and yea i was only doing maybe 20, so it wasnt a real hard hit
