Well, unfortunately I misjudged a corner, hit it to fast and ran my pretty orange pinto into a concrete barrier. Damage is not too bad:
Replace both fenders, both wrinkled...hav e parts
Have the right door dents repaired, or swap out the door...have parts
Will probably need a new left front bumper bracket from a 73, maybe the complete bumper is best
Replace grille and left parking lamp...have parts
Have the whole thing repainted....a t least it will match now. Wish I hadn't spent a week fixing the fender I just crunched.
So basically, the only cash I have to spend is for the front bumper and bracket and paint. maybe around $2500 depending on where i have it painted......O uch!
I didn't quit after that bad run though! The car was perfectly driveable, so I went back out and got back in the little pony, ran the course the right way (with an extra victory lap and crowd applause).
It was definitely fun and I'll go back when the car is ready.
