  • First time doing body work..... well kinda body work.

    Have a good friend that was down on his luck and got hit by a truck backing into his only family car. Truck guy had no insurance, said he would pay for it but disappeared. Shops wanted $2500+ to repair it. Hes a good guy and a good father so I scored him the parts through some contacts.
    Had to replace drivers side complete mirror, grill (upper and lower), bumper, bumper support, support brackets, anchors and headlight. Painted it using dupilcolors perfect match spray cans. Dude saved almost $2000.
    I am surprised at the outcome and glad I could help someone in need.

        Thats what I said! LOL. Guess these things are just weak as hell. Another 1/32" and it would have triggered the airbags.

                  Thanks all. I have been down on my luck a couple years ago and got some help from some great people. I just make sure to pay if forward for others in need.

                    That dupi-color shits pretty good. I've had good results from it. Beats a trip to English color and busting out the HVLP gun.

                    Good for you helping out the less fortunate. It has its' rewards.

                          Yeah. I gave him two I had that were the right size and have maybe 75% tread left. He has one new one and I sent him to a local tire shop I deal with to get it handled.
