a vicious attack by a Blue Boy

[Basketcase]

The youngest called to let me know her Mom had picked up from school, then all of a sudden there was a scream, the sound of a VW horn, and although she swears she didn't swear....I know I heard words that would make a salior blush...the Boss was at the red light, in the right lane, and a guy next to her (in a Dodge truck no less) decided he wanted to turn right as well.....

 

[Basketcase]

Thank God no one was hurt
Thanks God it wasn't worse
and Thank God Almighty I wasn't the one driving the Ghia!

 

[Big John]

That sucks!

 

[Basketcase]

It drove home OK, so it looks like just body damage. yeah, sucks big time, but it coulda been gathering dust in the garage. she drives the wheels off this car!

 

[Roadcuda]

That does suck Dave! At least no one was hurt. From that overhead pic it doesn't look like it will be a simple fender swap to fix that?

Front fenders are welded on Karman Ghias, much like a rear quarter on other cars. The good news is the metal is softer and easier to shape back if the bodyman knows his stuff.

 

[Basketcase]

of course not, shoulda got her a Bug, they're all bolt on.

 

[droptop]

At least it didn't get into the radiator........:facepalm: Glad no one got hurt.

yeah they're harder to find than a '70 Daytona

Sorry to see that Dave, We have idiots doing that on left turns here as of late. A good body man can fix that!

 

[Basketcase]

hope so, looks like Ghia fenders are $1000, and a front bumper (IF you can find one are $600+) and we thought mopar parts were high!

 

[george68hemirr]

could've been worse.....thank god no one was hurt

 

[dobie]

Dang Dave....Very glad to hear everyone's ok...

 

[ACME A12]

Obviously Harold knows nothing about Karman Ghias; the radiator is in the rear...:basketcase:

Glad no one got hurt.

:yeathat:

 

[Basketcase]

well the adjuster just left...keeping my fingers crossed.

and here is where the car was, obvisiouly she tried to wedge in between the truck and the curb.....:brickwall: I coulda drove a semi thru there,I dunno what that moron in the truck was thinking.

 

[Jim S.]

That sucks. What did the guy do? Try to beat her when the light changed or just not even see her beside him.

 

[Basketcase]

he said he didn't even see her.

 

[tallhair]

he said he didn't even see her.

Damn man I'm just glad she wasn't hurt .. screw him. Sorry about the Ghia
