I recently hit a deer, and messed up the hood, bumper cover, driver's fender, radiator support, and driver's front fender apron. I was able to get the hood, bumper cover and fender new, but i have to get the rad. support and fender apron from a salvage yard. The front clip will be cut off of the junk car at the fire wall. I was going to drill out the spot welds just in front of the shock towers on the new front clip as well as on my car, and just plug weld the new front clip to my car. Has anyone had to do this? Any advice?

you F****ed that deer up...lol

ozz

take alot of point to point mesaurements to make sure everything is square now check you suspension for damage. thru out the whole operation take point to point mesaurements and make sure nothing has shift during removal/re welding. if you think anything is gonna shift to greatly brace it up so it will not move but with a repair like this nothing like that should happen basically this all depends on your know how and patience then after you get evertyhing back to gether i would go get it aligned just to be safe


good luck

I think the deer phucked his car up as well.

Thanks for the replies! Has any of you seen a website were someone has done this repair? I've replacedquarter panels on a 68 coupe, but nothing like this. I would like to see how other people have done this. Thanks again!

Oh yeah, the deer was pretty phucked up! Even though his body was mangled and he was without a doubt dead, i shot him in the head just was phucking up my car! Don't tell PETA!

fender. bumper, headlights, hood, and probabaly a header panel.... not too bad of a fix

ChadFoose

Yeah, that's the easy part. I already bought all of those parts. The rad. support and the driver's inner fender apron is a crumbled up mess. But, I have located a place that sells the whole front clip for $350.
