    I didnt mean the frame horn (circle with four studs) since the bumper shocks would have kept then from being damaged. I was talking about the portion that runs along the sides of the bay/over the wheels. The very end of yours is probably bent

      thanks for the replies guys. I'll be thinking about what to do with it over the next couple of days. It'd be a shame to junk it, since it still runs like I didn't rear end somebody!!! Any recommendation on how to get the hood open? The latch is stuck. Should I just take a crowbar to it since the hood is done anyways?

      Does anybody know if stewcrew has a parts car?

        I'd pull out the kidneys and see if you can access the hood latch from there or see if you could pry it out from there. Hood and core support are junk anyways and StewCrew has a parts car for ya.

          I agree with taking the kidneys out. You should be able to pry at the assembly from there

            Could always cut the hood. It's not like stewcrew doesn't have a parts car.

              Oh man. I'm laughing out loud at this point. What is the stewcrew joke that I don't get?

                  You might not want the fenders. We rolled them. With a hammer. And a forklift. So. Yep. Maybe some parts are salvageable. But most certainly not the areas we hit with a hammer. Or. A huge forklift.

                        Also. Hope it gets fixed. And not scrapped.

                              now that I think about it, the only thing you will probably want from stewcrews car is the front core support. the fenders have been rolled with a fork lift and the hood fell on the ground when earl was taking parts off of it.

                                It was sort of tossed but who is keeping score=P It is still a really straight hood. Might have some rock chips. At least you didn't need a windshield...

                                  I'm wondering if my car wasn't lowered (thanks a lot Earl! :) ) if the damage would have come into the bumper instead of the headlight... although maybe it's better this way? You guys are all awesome. Unfortunately I don't have time to get in and take a look at it until Sunday :(. Any of you guys in the Milwaukee area interested in helping with an assessment in trade for some beer & pizza :)?

                                    Earl more or less explained rolling fenders... how does a forklift work into that process?

                                      Well. Put the forks on the roof. Drop the forks. And slam it to the earth to get the stock bottlecaps to tuck. Having basically zero rear suspension helps as well.

                                        Wouldn't that be really bad for the roof?

                                          Its a parts car. The car is being stripped and sold scrapped after everything useable is gone. The rear end got hit and Jake bought it for the motor
