Default Oh no!!!

ok so heres the story,i spent like a total of 2 months just going over the camaro getting it ready for my wedding,so one weekend i detail the car and go fill the nitrous bottle,that afternoon my buddy and his blown cobra starts getting a little cocky and starts smack talking. i cant resist,so we get in the cars and hit up a local back road,so we r running the cars hard,the good news is i blew his doors off,the bad news is as soon as we start letting out of it bambi decides its time to go for a stroll,so i ended up hitting this deer at like 120mph,so being that its just a few weeks till my wedding i dont have the time or funds to have the body work done,so this weekend, i did some ghetto body repair with duplicolor paint products and alot of fiberglass,and a new headlight, heres some pictures of before the accident and after my repairs,trust me i know it dosent look great but it will get me by till after the wedding.

the first and third pics are before the deer,the 2nd and 4th are after a new drivers headlight and about 50 lbs of fiberglass,i know the paint dosent match but the duplicolor products do a pretty decent job,the front bumper cover didnt fit quite right afterwards.

if you don't have something constructive to add to the thread then you should at least not be ********, racing or not it won't be funny when you smoke a deer one day.

last night driving down the road, deer straight ran across the road and into the left front fender of my moms car. No warning or nothing.

I've used a heat gun many times to rework plastic body parts.
You'd be surprised how well it works.

We need to see pics of the damage to see whats going on. But like said before for hitting a dear at 120 it looks like new.

I'm kind of curious why you need the car for the wedding? Just rent a car if you can't drive it. And like others have said, I don't see the damage that typically happens when you hit a deer at 40mph, let alone 120.

You must have just clipped that deer. I hit a deer at 55mph in my old s10 extreme and the core support was pushed back to the intake manifold, total loss.
