You have too many wheels... haven't we discussed you simply getting a few more cars? I'm sure the missus will forgive you ... eventually.
Good Day/Bad Day at the 'Ol Dealership

I know right? Gonna have to start putting these on something....wonder how my T&C would look with road wheels...mmm (this is where master photoshop guru Stan posts such a mash up as I have no such skills)
Bad day at the Dealership...came back from Denver to learn an employee drove a customer's truck into my Black '66!! Needless to say he doesn't work here anymore

That's awful.
Do you have a body shop at the dealership?

Yes but since an employee did the damage it's not a candidate for insurance claim. You should see the Ram 3500 that hit it! $13000 damage - folded up like a tin can - i can still drive mine lol.

Oh crap! That is terrible. What are you gonna do? Are you gonna need another fender and the trim to get it repaired?

Sounds like he took out the side of a dually box.
Complete rear door
Cab corner
Box side
Wheel flare
Paint
Labour
Etc
I told my parts guy to find me fender bumper grill NOS for mine....he is not confident he'll be sucessful
I'm more worried about the lower control arm...he pushed the car sideways 8"

That sucks...
You shouldn't have let him go though, I believe you will have many days in the future you will wish you could wander down to his stall and punish him a bit more... until you get him really paranoid.

I think its fine - one of the Techs thought the wheel was off centerline when he looked at it but I didn't see anything like that when I had a chance to look it over again tonight. If the young man had owned up to his mistake immediately he may have stayed but he went home without saying anything to anyone clearly hoping no one would catch on. Can't have that kind of bad judgement working for me. It was his last last chance with the company and he blew it.
More often than not, my body & paint guy would rather use a production used fender or other body part than NOS. The NOS parts never seem to be quite like the production ones, and are often missing the correct mounting holes, etc. And he would very likely fix that fender rather than replace it, but he has been doing this stuff for over 30 years and is a perfectionist - I am amazed at what he can do with metal. But you would need replacement trim pieces for the fender and the left grille.
The kid was beyond saving... even worse than the A%%holes who sneak the tool box into the back of a P/U and quit when they screw up. It wasn't simply a judgement error, total lack of ethics and accountability.
Have some one run it across the alignment rack, you will know if it has damage for certain that way.
I figured there had to be more. I don't think you are someone that would fire a guy for a mistake.
