My '63 D100 "The Boxer" does it's last round.
I called it that because I like Simon and Garfunkel and because it had taken some decent hits in it's life. It needed a lot of body work but over time I managed to at least get rear fenders, a chrome grille, and nice bezels. It had a fair amount of work done by me to the brakes. It always started and was driven anywhere, anytime. Front suspension didn't take it so well as the driver's side tire was flat before it went up over the curb. I was looking at rebuilding the front end regardless of the accident but damn. I loved that thing. I'm gonna part it out I guess so there should be some posts up soon. It was my fault. I ain't gettin' nothin' for it.

No one was hurt. The other driver drove to work with a broken grille, cracked bumper, and a knocked out headlight. The ac compressor was even ok. The airbag didn't even go off. It was an early 2000's Ford Explorer. I'm glad the other car was still driveable and no did get hurt.That would've sucked.

Bummer dude. I'm not too far away, and I have parts trucks. Probably enough to put it back on the road. Give a holler if I can help.
