Well, I fixed the garage wall with a 41" x 21" piece of drywall. A little spackle & paint an you will never be able to tell.

Unfortunately, the Stinger isn't quite as easy. There is approximately a 12" high x 4" wide area of damage where the body panels got folded back when the door snapped backwards. The trim piece is the worst. Only apparent damage to the hinge is that a welded stop pin got broken off. Door opens with difficulty because of bent body panels. Otherwise, the door seems okay. (Way to build that custom hinge Archie.)

I had discussed with some people getting some custom air scoops and now the matter will be expedited. I see the paint issue being the biggest pita right now.

The car will be at the Minneasota Fieros Forever Spring Kickoff next Saturday May 15th. (If you want pictures come an take them yourself. ) A stragetically placed Stinger poster will be placed in front of the damage. The Dells run was out this year due to I am the only one going so I was / am taking the GT. It's the other later shows in June I am concerned about. Plus I stll need to figure the gauge pod situation. Later.......

i just bought a complete set of trim and only used one piece. i will probably stop up at the dells if you need something. no charge. except you have to let me sit in the chop top to see if my head fits, if you're there.

Check with Archie to see if he or his paint guy has the left-over paint from the Stinger's paint job, if so that will make matching the paint a piece of cake.

The Stinger had a garage mishap. Sounds like the door attempted to fold 180 degrees back on itself and creased the body panels in the process. I'm dying to see what that looks like. I know Archie built one stout system for that hinge so I'm sure the panel took the worst of the impact.
