Paying The Piper

Got a little careless about a month ago. I won't go into the details. Ended up denting my drivers side fender and tweaking my bumper. Hit the fender with some mud, didn't look too bad but it was driving me nuts. Drove down to the Truck and Car Shop today and picked this up:
My trucks a bit of a beater, but I really couldn't let this go. Still have to order a new bumper. I think I've learned my lesson.

When it hits you in the wallet it gets your attention. Good luck with the repair.

Re: Paying The Piper

Just think, a cinder block or something to block your tire while you worked could have saved you this cash! Though we are all glad that you didn't hurt yourself, so a new fender and bumper is a helluva lot better than some serious personal injury!

Re: Paying The Piper

Yeah, I think I actually got off pretty lucky. No damage to the grill or garage door and I'm still in one piece.
Still have to pick up some wheel chocks.

Re: Paying The Piper

Went out and got her done. Old fender was a repop as well, but seemed to fit better. I have about 3 bolts on the out side of the inner fender that didn't line up. Gotta figure something out for that.
