So sorry to hear about that. I would come unglued if someone backed into mine.

That sucks. Noone can hit a daily driver. Hope the culprit owned up.

Im just happy that they came and let me know they did it. There insurance co came out and looked it over. Based on my body guys estimate its right at 2k to get a inner fender and outer fender replaced turn key job.

Its really a blessing afterall. The insurance company's estimate was more than my guys estimate.
After all the painter issues the first round. And some blemishes that they could of been avoided. I had a different shop look it over.
The new shop is not only going to repair the fender collision work, but repair/align/adjust ALL the body and paint blemishes. The shop owner couldn't do anything but get it 100% no matter what my budget was. Real good guys with great referances. There gonna start on it Tuesday and have it back to me Friday. And the insr. Co. Is paying for a rental car.
I couldn't be happier with this 72 daily driver

Had to remove my fuel tank this weekend. Its got a lot of fine rust clogging the filter and my fuel gauge will only go to half tank.
Seems the float arm on both senders is not located off center of the filler tube. I need to find a proper sender and need a new tank. Rinsed it out for now, but will order one to put in as soon as it gets back from the body shop.
