oooh! that makes me feel sick. Bummer man.

nicke · 08-30-2011, 10:07 PM

Thanks guys... yea not good. Just when I was ready to really start driving it... :-(

NONHOG · 08-30-2011, 11:52 PM

Bummer man, at least you picked a high production model. Shouldn't be too tough to find parts. Hate to see such a nice looking car banged up like that.

ps, whats for dinner?

there is a guy on the Sacramento CL selling sheet metal for this if you can find any up north.

nicke · 08-31-2011, 11:37 AM

Thanks guys... Yea, I am going to take a look at some parts today. A guy has 3 impalas and says he has all the front end stuff that I would need.... I'll keep you posted.

Stupid Deer!

**Dieselwrencher** · 08-31-2011, 04:53 PM

I can't blaim you, but I'd want to beat it to death if it wasn't dead already!

68GMCCustom · 08-31-2011, 09:12 PM

ouch.......sorry to see that!

nicke · 08-31-2011, 09:52 PM

Wow, what a wild ride this has been. I feel like I just found a needle in the haystack... Just bought this setup... and I will even have a nice driver side fender to sell.

cam.man67 · 09-01-2011, 07:09 AM

Wow! Talk about lucky! Nice front clip.

I know right... even has a good radiator, and the original glass bottle on the driver side inner fender!

**Dieselwrencher** · 09-01-2011, 03:45 PM

If I was you, I'd save all left over parts from that for future use. You never know man.

Average Joe · 09-01-2011, 07:25 PM

Freakin' deer! Great score on the parts though. Looks like she'll make a full recovery.

chevyndn · 09-01-2011, 08:58 PM

man your lucky! how is it you find a complete front clip for your 65, but i cant find a fender for my 70 impala to save my life! but at least you can get your ride back together...

I know...crazy. I would have been screwed because they dont repop fenders for a 65 either.

nicke · 09-02-2011, 12:20 PM

I have learned so much about my car through this entire thing! I tore down my entire front end yesterday (by myself) and it is much more simple than I thought. The hard part was pulling the hood off without messing things up (again by myself). Gonna clean things up a bit and get it ready for the new clip!

**Dieselwrencher** · 09-02-2011, 02:36 PM

You're half way there!

hotrodhomi · 09-02-2011, 09:28 PM

when pulling off panels and hoods (especially by myself) I like to put painters tape on the edges to prevent scratches.

Torrey72 · 09-04-2011, 12:54 AM

Nice car. Hope to see it back in shape

nicke · 09-15-2011, 07:26 PM

Little by little. A good time to replace the heater blower motor I guess :-)

nicke · 09-21-2011, 02:35 PM

I got all the trim pulled and will get it welded up this weekend. Have to drill new holes for the Super Sport emblems, as these fenders didnt have them. Probably gonna use por 15 or some other type of rust preventative in the underside of the fenders and core support area up front... Anyone done this before?

nicke · 09-26-2011, 02:31 PM

Started the sanding and metal work. I am going to eliminate the emblem on the front header panel, but keep the rest. A few more hours and it should be ready to put back on!
