Hit and run

Well I was hit the other day by some teen in a dodge Dakota, it only messed my fender up a little but it was still going to cost more to do body work than to get a new fender which I did for only $100.00.

Here is some pics of the the fender and some of the replacement work I am doing.

If you ever see that truck, be sure to get a slug hammer out and bash their front fender. Anyone dumb enough to run off after that deverses it.
