Hey David, Think you can fix this front nose for me? It's from CSX 2143 after the crash. I'm going to hang it on the wall but I thought an expert like you could straighten it out first. Can you do paintless dent removal?

Don,

What did you do, how and why did you do it and are you OK?

Regrets, Pete C

Hmmm,,,,,,armed with that your real close to "restoring" or maybe putting together a "continuation" car? LOL

Pete, the car belongs to a friend of mine. The crash happened about 15 years ago. He was going down an on ramp on the 405 in CA. Just hit 3rd gear, hit some sand and did 3 360's and hit the side of a little mazda. $1200 to fix the Mazda, $15,000 for the Cobra. Nobody hurt, his pride took a beating though. This was right after he bought the car from Sammy Hagar of Van Halen fame.

Ernie, what would a glass car look like with an aluminum front? I think if I use self tappers I can graft it on. Or I could use JB Weld, that stuffs amazing!
