A little old lady backed her 88' Oldsmobile into it in front of my house. I live on a main road across the street from a church so a cop doing traffic duty actually heard the crunching and came to investigate and the lady was very co-operative and her insurance took care of the damage.

looks good i wonder what the thick front edge of the hood above the lights would look like black or the bottom half of the edge painted black to kind of hide how thick the hood is above the headlights

Took these this afternoon after work!

I photoshopped the area on the hood above the headlights and it makes it look like it has bushy eyebrows, not sharp eye liner.
