Sorry to hear that Bob, Hope you have a good insurance man

That's a bummer! I have walked in them shoes before though it wasn't my fault....It didn't make me feel any better.

It would probably be worse if someone else hit you. At least this way you take it on the chin and get on with fixing it.

If it was someone else's fault you'd be sitting around waiting for the insurance company as they tried to figure out who to blame.

Hope you can get it fixed real soon and glad nobody was injured.I had a simlar experience a couple of weeks ago when my drivers door decided to fly open while going around a sweeping bend.Being suicide doors on the front meant that it swung around so fast it took my door out as well as my rear fender.But all is good i got it home and fixed it before too many could see the damage but being off the road for a week was the hardest part of the experience
cheers barnsey

It's a bummer to hear about any damage to such a beautiful car but by the looks of the pictures, I'd guess that your pride was hurt more than the Chevy.  I'm sure the teasing will go on long after the metal is straightened.

Ya know Bob, they call them things "immovable objects" for a reason

[jaybee]

Wow Bob, that's a shame.  At least nothing's hurt that can't be fixed.

Hello;
Bob, sorry to hear about your crash, I hate when that happens! Next time keep your eye on the road instead of the scenery, and you might not crash!

Hey B'oops, what gives with the "Assured clear distance"? That sure isn't pleasant to read but stuff happens. At least you're OK except for your smushed ego. Really, too bad.
I'll check to see what E-Gas Gene has in the way of grill parts. O&R,A!

Boob...er, I mean Bob, you boob! Yer supposed to look, not touch.

Bob I have some idea of what you are going thru.  Ran the right side of my truck into a center divider curb in Flag when the sun was in my eyes about 7 in the morning leaving town 5-6 years ago.  Damaged the right side of the headlight the whole right side fender and the cowl.  Pretty similar to your deal.

I was so sick about it when I got home I spent about 4 hours pounding it all all with a hammer and dolly and another couple weeks doing bondo and repainting that side and some of the flames.

You will get it together and a year or so it will just be a memory.  Hang in there,

Sum

I have a grille that I was going to put up on Ebay someday.  But it looks like you have yours straightened out pretty good.  If you need it let me know I'll give it to you real cheap.

"immovable objects" for a reason

Is that what they call the car in front of you nowdays?

Bob, glad to see your baby was still able to cruz around the track and get home.  Look on the bright side, it could have been much, much worse......you could have actually gotten beaten up by Larry.

and good luck finding the pieces your looking for.  Have you tried Flat Top Bob in TX yet?   Always seems like he has exactly what folks are looking for.

Sorry to hear about the car :cry:  - As you know, I really like that car!

About 12 years ago, I was pulling my coupe out of the garage in the wee hours of the morning. I plum forgot that I had my every day driver parked sideways across the driveway. You guessed it, backed right into the side of it. So unlike you, I had 2 cars to fix & they were both mine :evil:
