So I take it that it did get your frame too. Pics didn't look that bad where the fender was bent but I guess sometimes it can be deceiving. Are you going back with the same paint job? I like the flames, that's what I'm going to paint mine when I get the body work finished.

going to stay with the colors.it got the frame the wheelbase was alot shorter on that side and we noticed that the motor wasnt sitting straight it bent the towers enough to start cutting 1/2 way thru the bolts

And all because of some idiot driver. It'd be nice if they had to pay it all and do it themselves maybe they would think about it.

Was wondering, what is the cost to get a frame blasted or did you do it yourself?

I'm glad to see your getting it back together, I must have missed the thread, who ended up paying you, your insurance?
