Last night I got home around 12. Me, like the rest of us, allways thinkin of new mods we could do to are trucks and wishing we could come up with the cash for it. Well i woke up this morning and walked otu to my truck and my dreams came true, a new mod and it was Free thanks to a hit and run driver.
I'll get the pics up by the end of the day.[/img]

ooooooo...I'd be soooo pissed. I'd say keep an eye out for a neighbor with some scratches and see if the color matches any they may have left on your rig. A jerk in the building left a massive white mark on my fiancé's brand new Jetta that I commute in, and I spent a few days working on it and finally found the guy. I left him a note and we squared things away.

best of luck, and sorry to hear about your truck.

Yeah you can say it made me a little unhappy. Hopefully insurance will pay for all repairs and a paint job cause it would look kinda stupid with the front end painted new and the rest all scratched up and not matching.
sorry it took so long, server was down.
Heres the pics:

Ooh man, that SUCKS!!! I would do exactly what Skorpyo suggested, start doing some sleuthing through your neighborhood and looking for some blue paint on a banged up fender. That was a fairly hard hit, you know the other vehicle has some damage to show for it.

Good Luck,

Andy

Yeah thanks guys I'll see what i could do. But my luck, i'll never find him and im gonna get screwed the $500 Deduct. from Ins. and the time it takes to fix it (daily driver). That was $500 i could have spend on somethin else on my truck that I got screwed out of know. But hopefully i get enough money from the Ins. where i could pick up a winch bumper or somethin. I dunno.

That really sucks! Someone must have been talking on their cell phone. :roll:
I've had my driver's side mirror torn off twice here in S.F. even though I park (illegaly) half way up on the sidewalk!

Hey john its greg from pse&g/nicks brother. That sucks. Hopefully insurance will help you out. I'll keep my eye out when i'm around home for a beat up left fender, whatever it was must have been pretty big to hit you up there.

Hey whats up Greg long time no see. Yeah thanks for the lookout. I was talkin to Mark aka LawnCherokee and he said he was gonna see, if he sees any parts at a new location of Harrys U-Pull. And he got me thinkin it looks like pretty much just 1/4 panel damage and the front fiberglass if i could make a list and find all the parts at junk yards.....bolt it on and save some of the Ins. money for some aftermarket stuff. I'll still have to get ti painted unless im real lucky and find the same color in the yards.

Hey Greg whats up with your truck anyway did you get it started yet?

yep it's started, just no money or time right now to get it done yet. I have most of the parts sitting ready to go but wont have time till christmas break to do it. I've removed all the brackets from the frame already and stuff just gotta start building.
