Default Just my luck, crashed the car

No, not the trans am! The boy took my camaro to work today since he sold his beater and isn't getting his new truck till next sat. The roads were shitty but he makes it to work fine, but after being at work for an hour one of the delivery drivers backs into my door with his truck! I am not sure how bad it is, I guess ill see later. Anyone do any decent body work that wants an extra job next week?

Scared me too, thought it was the TA at first. Nice thing about third gens is body panels are cheap as hell from boneyards. A dinged up the driver's side fender and door on my '89 back in high school, got a fender for around 50, door for 100, took it to a shop for sanding and painting, and looked as good as new for about $500 total.
