July CoTM nominations

[70 StangMan]

Holy crap Dale!  I didn't know that happened!

Yea, most of the time it stays locked up in the darkest corners of my mind. Probably the closest I have ever came to losing complete control and doing Great bodily harm to another human being.  :rp

I like this....lets run with it. Post pictures of your wrecked/damaged mustang and then repair pictures.

Didnt Rapid Rabbit have a similar issue?

Yes I did. It was in 2008 :cry

PJ, did you buy the car wrecked or did it happen while you owned it? Whats the story on the accident?

I bought the car in '95.  It was one of those so-so restorations - decent, but needed redoing.  But, I didn't buy it to rebuild; I bought it to enjoy.  It was very complete and bone stock and just needed a little work to make it safe, etc.

The paint job wasn't great and I could see some shoddy body work here and there.  I knew it had been roughed up a little during it's former life, but again, it wasn't bad enough to warrant redoing.

I enjoyed it fairly regularly until 2003 when I got distracted and made a left turn from the right lane and got T-boned by a pickup truck.

Sad as it was, I siezed the opportunity to completely tear it down and do what I'd wanted to all along.  During the teardown, I found and repaired all of the previous bad work in addition to performing the various modifications.  Coincidentally, the LR quarter and taillight panel were two of the parts that needed replacing any way.

[Rare67]

Wow!

Just found out I was nominated. Thanks, that's very cool, but it was just a little dent ;)

This gives me an excuse to clean her up and take some pictures.
Even though the contest will probably be over by then, I'm looking forward to sharing some way overdue pics.

I'm way late to the game. Thanks for the nomination, Mike. Here's some photo's anyway.

Scene of the crime. The truck on the left side of the photo hit me, the stupid DB.


Before: The taillight panel, bumper, filler neck, and gas cap were damaged.



After: The body shop did a beautiful job. They were able to repair the panel.

Just out of curiousity..... why would you park your car in the middle of a parking lot?  Kinda where nobody would ever expect a car to be parked?  There was a nice "legal/normal/safe" parking spot right behind where Craig's standing/next to the FB.
