Wrecked the stang
I've had my car for 3 years and it has been a slow work in progress so far. Ive put a new top and frame on it, 2 months ago i put a fresh engine and trans in. I just started ordering new trim pieces so i could have it in good shape for the Mustang Anniversary in Birmingham.
Well Thursday night I was doing about 35 through town and a guy in an F150 pulled out in front of me. I tried my best to avoid him but hit him in the rear wheel. Needless to say, when a mustang takes on an F150 in a collision the truck wins every time! There wasn't a scratch on his paint. /i left some paint on his wheel. The damage to my car wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Somehow it missed the hood and fender completely. He said he just didn't see me!! There is always a bright side though. I had already planned on putting a new bumper cover on it. looks like it will be free now!! LOL.

did the guy take pictures at the scene? if not just whack the lip of the hood just above the headlight so at least is in the correct location. but keep in mind those adjusters are pretty good at what they do and my call BS on you. happened to a friend of mine when he got swiped by some lady on his rear quarter. it didnt even touch the passenger door but my buddy took a hammer and hit the door a bunch nearest the damage. adjuster called BS on him and only gave him money for the quarter to be fixed.
