That looks totaled but I guess it depends on who's paying and who's fixing. My son's 78 Firebird that we worked on for 3 years (and paint/bodywork done by shop) got smacked in the rear by an unisured dickhead while stopped at a red light. Shop wouldn't fix it, said it was "too hurt". Maybe that one's not quite as tweaked. It is kinda funny tho as 2nd, 3rd, even 4th gens get older there's less of them so they kinda grow more on some people.

Told the guy I'd do what I can but if it needs to much work to straighten the core support or inner fender I'm not fixing it.
 
I know I've posted this pic so sorry for repeats, just miss that car for personal father-son reasons. It only had a 305 which was perfect in my mind for sons first car. Boy did we fight the insurance company on the settlement, you should have seen the comps they were bringing up, oh brother!!!

Fiberglass, you da man! I was told by our body guy that on the second gen the nose really has to be perfect, not sure what's available in parts for that gen, good luck!
 
Thank you, glad I am not getting dislikes on the Monty console, it just works so good, and only a 45 dollar investment. Then a little wood, vinyl and aluminum work, going to need a Plymouth or MoPar logo on it soon
Hey Mike I have a Plymouth emblem I took off my Scamp and if you send me your address I'll send it to you. :thumbsup:
 
At one of my favorite cafes by the river. Cafe Thoc. But had to come upstairs this time because it was so busy downstairs. Couple of pictures from a higher angle. Can see the bridges off in the distance pretty good.

The 305 is not a bad motor when you stuff one in a T 1000. :thumbsup::rolleyes:
