What a bummer!

If your core support is damaged, I have a factory big block 73-80 if you need one, very nice condition!

Doesn't look like it would cost too much to make it right again.

Re: it'll buff out!

When it comes to having your choice of how an accident happens I would prefer this any day a hood grill and core support and maybe a radiator are not difficult to replace.

We should all be so lucky. Luckier still it never happens

I hate seeing these threads. We all know how much blood sweat and tears go into one of these only to muck it up.....Hope it all works out Bud.

Re: it'll buff out!

That sucks!

All things considered, you've been lucky in the sense that it was a front hit with apparently no structural damage. Got a cooperative insurance company, and most imporantly you weren't injured.

Good luck on the rebuild!
