1968 Destination Downtown...

[Midnight Special]

UPDATE: 'Driving Renee's "Goldie" to town today for front-end alignment check, then to the body shop on Monday for new (factory tooled) fender and parts from R&R Classics, then paint...

I told Renee I need a hooded sweatshirt so I won't be recognized drivin' around in that old wreck...
;-)

...On a side note: Renee auditioned for and got the part of singing The National Anthem for the start of the Sacramento River Cats baseball game at Raley Field! I got to listen via cellphone courtesy; "marie68mustangs" and Wow! What a stunningly beautiful voice!! My gosh - the hidden talent here!!!
Pretty amazing our "PonyGal"!

As for singing the National Anthem yesterday for the River Cats, it was a blast!!! I really enjoyed singing, and got quite a few compliments afterward. Also, it was a great day for a ball game, and they won 7-3!

My "baby" is all fixed up!!!

Went to Tripp's Auto Body yesterday, in the pouring rain to pick up my little gold coupe. They did a wonderful job repairing it and matching the paint. She is now sitting in Tim's garage waiting for me to bring her back home. I am one HAPPY Mustang owner!!!

Thank you Tim and TJ for all the help you gave me to get her back on the road again!!

...They did a beautiful job!
For paint match - they have a computer program that scans the existing color and formulates a perfect match, so no need to cross refer paint recipes or trial & error... You literally can't see any difference between Renee's new fender and the rest of the car! They gave her a pint of touch-up to go with it as well. 'Neat shop

Glad it worked out Renee, although I kinda thought it would come out of the body shop looking something like this to keep the big, bad trucks away. :grin:

Glad it is fixed. Thought Renee handled that very well. I would have been a basket case!!

Paul, you of all people would've seized the opportunity and made it better than new! We already know what you do with "basket cases", so you're not fooling anybody

Tim

Your probably right. We would have tried to figure out some way to tear it completely down and put it on a rotissorie - just to fix a fender!! Ha ha
