Sorry to hear about the accident but as always, SCs prove to be faithful It could have been worse and your quick decision to go off the road must have been scary but it saved you and the car! That pic of your SC in the brush was actually a nice picture. I hope that you get everything fixed back to normal and I'm glad your car wasn't totaled.

I'm happy there are forum members who will help you out with this process! Make sure you post pics on your progress so we know you and the car are doing well! Best of luck to you sir.

gerb good job ,,,you don't even need bondo it looks like, just sand that down with some 180 and lay some finishing putty.

I use DuPont two stage finishing putty it works great, and is made to go over paint and primer.

Every time I see an accident for a car I always think it means you get the money/excuse for a body kit lol

Thanks guys ! Thats a $110 puller kit that has done it's magic. A hydraulic tool well spent I guess since I have done a lot of things with its help.

Now Chris just needs to use the body and fender set tool to do some shaping / flattening and a little bondo / putty.... get it painted and he should be good to go.

Good Luck Chris and soon it will be back to as though you never had that accident.
