Dude these pics hurt me on a emotional and personal level, considering we have pretty similar cars some of those shots looked almost identical- either way, I am SO SORRY for your loss man.
And to think I was kicking myself for bottoming out in a parking lot the other day... I need to be more thankful of what I have.
Good luck on the repair man, I wish I could do something to help, but all I can offer are my sincerest condolences. Don't kick yourself, we're Human! Error is built into every single one of us. Insurance should take care of you, but get ready to pay a new premium for the next 10 years =(
Can't wait to see it all fixed up, and take care of that shoulder! Your well being is just as important, so keep an eye on it.

I feel you man. I got home from a 1500 mile road trip earlier this summer and rear ended a truck with a trailer hitch the next day. While I wasnt smart enough to get the GT/CS bumper cover (Kicks Self), I did get to upgrade to the Cervinis type IV hood.
If I were you, I would make sure that hood gets a big dent in it before the insurance adjuster comes along... Then get your body panels replaced, that 67 hood you want, GT/CS bumpers, and a chrome Billet grille. Oh, and go with a shorty antenna while youre at it.
It sucks cuz shes ur baby, but use it as an excuse to upgrade

I feel for ya man. Similar story to mine, except I was going 90 on a straight, deserted country road surrounded by fields. Armadillo came out, I hit the brakes, rear locked up and started to swing around, let off but too late, went into a ditch and rolled 3 times.
Yes, I was a dumbass and should have just hit the damned animal. But unless you go through that scenario in your mind beforehand, and make a concerted effort to know what you're going to do when the situation occurs, there's not really much time to go through the options in your head and make a logical decision...you're just going to react.
Just let this be a lesson to anybody reading this thread, go through possible emergency situations in your mind and know how you want to react ahead of time, before the actual situation happens to you.
