Got into a little accident in my '78 the other day

The other day I smashed the fender, broke a headlight bezel, tweaked the rad support, busted the marker light, fubar'd the bumper, and busted the mirror. Oh, and the headlight just kind of flops around now.

I had to move over cause some dimwit was a foot or 2 over in my lane, and I got sucked into a wall by unplowed snow doing 25-30




I'll get more pics later on.

Re: Got into a little accident in my '78 the other day

Perfect opportunity to upgrade? here is my sugestion for a bumper.

2x4 tubing pie cut out of the lower edge, for looks, two bends for a pre runner bar with some braces gives some grill protection, hitch tube for the quick mount winch. Some flat stock on the top as a filler and then some brackets and for not much coin u have a new custom bumper.
