Well, after months of driving around with body damage and scratches and chips to the rest of the car, Im finally having it fixed!





heres where the quarter got mashed, along with the rocker, and part of the door



the hood is chipped and scratched


little crack below the headlight and some scuffs on the bumper



and of course this is the result of letting a female drive your car!!!!!! Boyd Timeless 5's


sooo....

I got the 2 wheels fixed at Wheel Wizard in Atlanta for $450! much cheaper than 1200 shipped for new ones, and they look great! I definatly recommend this place to locals. this is a pic of all 4


and they will be going back on after the car is fixed.

They are replacing and painting the quarter, replacing the rocker, the door, painting the entire front end of the car, and buffing the rest of the car that isnt getting painted.

Ive gathered a bunch of new parts to go on the car after i get it back:
- new headlights
- black billet grill w/ '69 rs/ss emblem
- clear corners
- silver SS fender badges ( the red ones are ugly IMO)
- chrome rear letters and a hurst badge
- painting the rear panel satin, leaving the bowtie and SS off
- !side moldings!

All the work should take about 2 weeks, and i will DEFINATLY post up pics when i get it back, and hopefully pics of it being worked on in the process! so stay posted!!

Is all that damage from when your friend drove it.

My friend messed up the wheels...but the quarter panel and passenger side was my fault. I didn't have full coverage insurance so I've had to save up the money and pay for it all myself! I'm dropping it off in the morning though. I can't wait to see it all fixed and nice

Hang tight! Its everything I can do to keep my mind off getting it back. The shop said I should have it back by Tuesday or Wednesday and should be emailing me some pictures of the progress. Ill post them up when I get them!

I can only imagine what it must feel like having it close to being fixed up. I'm saving my pennies to do the same.

Post pics when finished!!

Yeah it sucks to keep thinking about. I'm about the most impatient person ever and sitting at home all weekend with no wheels doesn't help matters much!

I remember first reading the post of your friend messing up those wheels.. It's good to hear that they were able to fix it.. at a reasonable price.

Thanks meine.. I'm really glad they could fix them too instead of having to buy new ones! And she hit the center median at a good rate of speed is what messed them up
