Since I am the ultimate fixer upper, I had the car towed to the house. With the help of my sons, I was able to totaly disassemble the entire front end and remove what was left of the hood.

Structural damage- Frame does not seem to be bent. The radiator support, front beam is bent in about 3 inches. That can be bent back out.

What will have to be replaced, Hood, front bumper, grill, headlights, Headlight housings, Front Windshield, Air Bags, Air Bag senser, and a few other items.

The Front body kit made it out OK! Just needs some repainting since the paint cracked. I have made a decision on a hood though. Here's the hood I want

Sounds like your baby will need some TLC. I am glad she is not a total loss. I know how much you love your stang. I love the CF hood. Maybe someday I can have something like that.

Right now we are debating. I am going to go and check with my friend on a few things. He works at a body/engine shop. He said he would sell me a V-8 with 12K miles for real cheap, like 800.00 installed and garaunteed (sp) and switch that out along with the trans, rear end, and computer, and also they will repaint the entire car too! I want the car Midnight Blue.

As soon as the pictures are developed and scanned, I'll post the carnage. Right now we are fighting the insurance company!!
