Itill Buff out, a good ol quote from Ridgemont High or is it Planes, Trains and Automobiles, anyhow have calmed down, the pics don't show how crooked it really is and when I open the tailgate almost didn't get it closed again as the hinge is toast, ah some funny comments thanks. I did decide to phone the MOUNTIES and report this and good thing I did because if the Damage is over 1K then by Law the Bodyshop cannot repair the damage unless there is a police report number and they then give you a repair type sticker that accompanies the insurance quote. The wife was worried I'd get a ticket cause it was a stopped school Bus. Will go down there tommorrow to complete that and it'll be on Army time too.

I am just to much of a Truck freak to leave it the way it is as it would drive me insane. I never did like the Painted Viper Cap as I feel it screws your vision even though there is lots of windows it always bugged me, was the wifes idea to get that after we camped and the gear got all wet and she didn't want her gear in a garbage bag.
The Hemi badge on the tailgate was covering a dent, so it looks like a new bumper and some tailgate work. Not sure what they will do for the Box Quarter though and I guess it will be time for some new lenses. I paid 2 grand for that Truck Cap so maybe after I get the window changed I might put it up for sale and use the money for a LIne-X spray in the box and maybe a fancy cover or just some rails, dunno at this stage. So tommorrow I'll be up 90 bucks from the smoking campaign and yes AF I told my wife as long as I remain smoke free its 300 a month for mods, he,he,he..

No not a roll pan, hopefully after I talk with the body shop and if they are alright with doing what I want done my truck will look completely different when I get it back. Been way to long since I have done any visual mods...

Rocket wasn't that Eddy Cheevers. Well I took a better look today and I think it will cost approx. 2 G's to fix plus the Bus wants it's bumper banged out, we'll see goin to town to get my repair sticker from the Cops.

VA, thanks for that (Hidden Hitch) as now it makes future options better.
