I hope I can fix it. I have so much time in this car that it would be hard to let it go.
It was hit by an old datsun pickup. My hip was bruised but thats about it. I saw the flash of his headlight right before the impact and moved my body towards the passenger seat.
I actually live in Naples which is about 1.5hrs south of Bradenton. I had to trailer it back home yesterday.
That sucks, I'm sure you'll get it back the way it was, nice foureye. Ny inlaws have a condo on Ft. Meyers Beach, we come down there alot sometimes we drive the Lightning. Next time we come down it would be cool to get together.
back2fox- ok man here are the pictures i was talking about.
its very relevant that you duplicate these pictures as close as posible for me so i can asses the situation more. i wont have a problem coming down to help you, the only problem i will have is getting my tools there (welder, compressor,etc..) but we can work on that later.
just see if you can get these pics for me in the meen time and i will get us a game plan together on this. this car WILL be fixed
this is a picture of the door catch support and jamb
this is a picture of the sill facing towards the rear of the car
this is the sill facing the front of the car
this is the sill right above the front seat mount
this is the pinch weld under the car (where i will seperate it)
Here are some detailed pics of the areas you needed. I hope these work. I'm still waiting on estimates to straighten the rear quarter panel and door hinge area. Maybe too much to save this thing.
