Welcome to the site. Good luck with your 69 project.

I'm sure we would all like to see it. No matter the condition, we have all have the addiction.

Welcome aboard!
Sorry to hear about the accident. Hope you weren't hurt. Is there a lot of damage?? Post pics for us morbid sorts anyway. It can be the start of multiple build threads.

Welcome to the site! If you don't want to share the carnage, then show us a picture of the other side

Seriously, welcome to the site and I hope your able to rebuild your car. There's several people with 1965's here who may be able to help find parts and for sure can help with any problems you encounter working on it.

No they didnt total it, the frame wasnt warped and believe it or not it still drives. It needs new fenders, bumper, hood, etc. The bad thing is the body shop said that i probly wont have it back for 5-6 months.

Whoops! I must not have been fully awake as I thought you had a 1965

Oh well.... there's lots of 1969 owners here too! When your ready for replacement parts I'd encourage you to create a parts wanted thread listing the items you need.

That damage actually doesn't appear to be as bad as it looks. The rf fender can easily be fixed and the ww trim looks like it's good too. 5-6 months seems like a long time. If this is going through insurance why are they putting you on the back burner? Prolly no one there knows how to work on this vintage of car.

Its going to take such a long time because im having a few other things done to it as well. Im making it back into a hardtop and getting new quarter panels put on. Also its one of the only shops in my area with experience in old cars and they are always very busy.
