i got in a crash with my 1968 ford mustang. Some lady failed to yield at an intersection, went right in front of me and just stopped. She got scared and stopped in the middle of the road and there was nothing i could do. Is this fixable? as far as i can tell there isnt much frame damage. the unibody from the door back looks as if it did before the crash. the wheels still turn so the suspension is fine. looks like all the sheet metal took the impact. the fender on the right side pushed my door back a little bit also.

Damn the luck my friend. Hopefully you come out ok with it. Looks like a beautiful car.

I hope so, the car ran extremely well. it has almost everything modern in it, power steering, power brakes, and fuel injected. It sucks that the front end is ruined but eventually itll get fixed. theres no way in hell im getting rid of this car lol

yes it can be fixed perfectly . . it will need to go on a frame rack . . the cost might be around $9,000.00 . . if your firewall is pushed back the maybe $12,000.

you might consider adding sub frame comnnectors.

buy nos ford fenders and hood if you can

it doesnt seem as if the firewall is pushed back. other than my glove box wont close and the clutch cable is alot closer to the ground. the gas and brake pedal are in the same spot though

see if it looks pushed back slightly where the shock tower brace attaches.

at the shock tower its self or to the cowl?

barnett468

at the cowl.

it doesnt seem to be. hopefully if it is, slighly pushed back maybe when they pull it itll go back into place. im pretty sure when i got hit i had the clutch pedal pushed in too. so maybe it has something to do with the clutch/flywheel/pressure plate or the clutch quadrant/pedal might be bent.

Is there a clutch pedal return spring?
