Sorry! Thats a lot of damage for less than a one mile per hour inpact? I wonder what a 10 MPH would be like. GL on fixing it.

I'll see if I can get out there tonight & measure the radiator to case. Or just measure your rad thickness & subtract that from 11 1/4" (rear of the rad core support to the timing chain case boss).

Yea that should work. I am thinking I should not take these measurements in with me in fear that I would be offending the guys at the body shop. I am thinking I will be keeping these for reference once I get the car back and check it out myself. A little bit of quality control on my end.

Thanks. The car still runs so I am able to still go workout and to work and then back. Other than that I don't have to have the car right now. Just wish my wife would have taken the extra 5 seconds that morning to look behind her car as she backed out.

Got me a new hood with the liner rather than that crappy foam insulation stuff. Only problem is it is red. Oh well. getting resprayed anyways. can't wait to get this thing looking good again. Pretty pumped to have a fresh hood on my car again.

UPDATE:

Going to pick the car up from the body shop and I really hope that everything has been done the right way. I will be taking some pictures and measurements tonight when I get home.

Thanks for the offer but the ones that were on still fit and if I need new ones later I will get a new set of the replica Euro grills.

Appreciate the offer though!

How'd it turn out? I figured you had it back since you're adding coolant...
