This is kind of a strange request, but hang with me. Several months ago, I took my GT to a guy who runs a one man shop, and specializes in older vehicles. He changed out the turn signal switch, but put the steering wheel on upside -down. I took it back last week after I had recovered somewhat from my surgery, to get the steering wheel put back on correctly. He fixed it, and moved the car out front, to move in a 59 Chevy custom for some A/C work. An older customer of his drove by and saw the Stude, and wanted to take a look at it, but because of the heat, did not want to get out of his van. So, he ran into it! He couldn't get close enough, so he jambed on the gas to get closer.... and moved the front end of the car over on the frame. Untill he got out, he did not even realize what he had done.
His insurance agent called me, and was concerned that I might be trying to mess with them because he was told that the guy had hit a Grand Torino, you know, like in the Clint Eastwood movie, and he knew that there were no Grand Torino's in 1962. After straightening him out, his only comment was "Oh, !!!!" . They are going to pay for everything, but the problem is trying to get together an estimate with the body shop guy. We need the part numbers on two items. They are noted on the CD for the body, but have no part numbers. One is the side grill on a GT....
ref. no. is 0502-15
The other is the drivers side wheel opening moulding, ref. no. 1601-33.
This last photo is does not look too bad, however when the insurance guy opened the hood, it now sits about an inch over the fender, and cannot be closed.
