Well, I turned the NYB in to get finished. He is also going to fix the damage from the off shore driver accident too.

Any damage to the bumper, Bob? The cornering lamp?
The bumper might be slightly bent at the corner....but it would be difficult to see. My cornering lights are intact.....they have the normal stress cracks.

Just drive up to a utility pole and give it a few taps.

Man oh man! I did miss that thread. Sorry that happened.. I feel your frustration. Mine was side swiped July 4th weekend by a (MUT) driving a Uhaul with NO license and no insurance.. Long story!
Similar story to yours, hooked the bumper and pulled the car a few feet before he stopped.. gotta say though! These Ol girls (your car and mine) took the hit well considering.. A newer car! Forgettaboutit!!!!!

Loved tune way you hassled that one John... watch him get cuffed and stuffed! 
Still doesn't make up for the damage but at least he didn't get away with it.

Funny you mention Cuffed and Stuffed! Turns out He had warrants for his arrest and the Fuzz locked him up for the weekend..

The mini van that hit my NYB was totaled by the insurance company...
My NYB was parked on a dead end of a dead end street. Only 6-8 cars travel regularly on that street and still my NYB gets plowed while parked!!!

These Ol Girl draw attention no matter where they are.. good and bad. At least in our Cases. Lol
I'm glad mine isn't pretty, to go back through the parts car history in my possession... she was back into/side swiped in a gas station the first time I filled her, no big deal, but should have been a nice little repaint bill for the OP. I have accumulated several small door dings and mostly foreign paint parking at work and in the driveway, she never confesses... but Management has applied "craftsman lawn tractor green" to several vehicles over the years, including her own.
I just found out that my body and paint guy is giving my NYB a complete exterior repaint from bumper to bumper.

Somehow I missed that one.
Was this your request or his desire? That could make for a big increase in cost.

I like that he's doing the whole car. Most of the bull work on the back half has already been done, so some light sanding and priming in those spots shouldn't be much, then a full respray and it will look gorgeous! Keep us posted
His desire....he said he'll have enough paint and clearcoat to do the entire car and won't have to blend the previous paint.
