Joe - are you running silver painted 'glass bumpers?

Nice work - LOVE this car!

Yup, just the front, the rear bumper was/is an NOS piece. Same guy (Glenn) did the 'glass front bumper, valance and hood about 7-8 years ago. All 'glass parts are from Crites Performance parts http://critesperformanceparts.com/, they have Falcon Parts...just sayin'...

I'll have to dig out the pictures from we did all that fiberglass stuff and post them up....

Having a great paint / body guy on your side is an ace up your sleeve , nice work

For sure...Glenn Eck's Paintin Place - reasonable prices, fast turn around, quality work...can't ask for more than that!

Did you just fix the fender, or did this escalate into a complete paint job?

Nope, just fixed the damage areas, blended it in and cleared the whole fender and extension.

It's fixable. Still, sorry it happened. That NEVER happens with my open trailer! (Trying not to be jealous that you have a closed trailer - maybe someday).

God that sucks!

[langleylad]

Good. Then I can close my eyes and pretend it never happened. Who cleans up the barf in the trailer? I would have been sick.

Me too ! I hate that feeling

Thanks for the nice words guys, my body guy kicks ass...it will look like it never happened.

[Joe Grippo]

well at least it wasnt one of those rare vettes in that big rig that hit a bridge, so while the car is at the shop i guess you're going to be making some new latches inside the trailer ?

Yeah, I put a nut and bolt on the other side. Won't open without removal.

Damn-that sucks. And of course it would never have happened if the car wasn't so nice.

Joe...that really sucks since both of your cars are pretty killer.
