Whoa ..... super bummed to see that, Eric. Hope it will buff out.

Glad I invested in the OPOR sliders for it. That makes it clear I need to get some for the 74.

Also think that Steve Jackson of Land Cruisers Direct has a line on repo stickers ....

Sucks Eric...I know you were bummed. How was the damage to the other vehicle?

Bummer Eric....

The ONSC is hopping today. I got so many notifications that I had to jump on here and see what was going on.

In summary:
A 70 series took a hit
A gub collection is up for sale
A rusty 40 gets new sheet metal
A 60 gets a knuckle rebuild with the help of a future cruiserhead

Happy New Year everyone. Keep up the good work.

Was hunting down leaks when I noticed this separation between welds. I was thinking I would use a large punch to straighten it a bit and then cover with silicon. Does anyone have a better suggestion? Maybe welding it closed from the start is the better way to go...

Wire wheel the inside if you can, then fill with seam sealer. Is it really bent out or did the original seam sealer just fall out? I'd be weary about using a punch just in case the fender is bent up (more).

Bummer I'd be worried about insurance totaling the vehicle since it will be almost literally impossible for a body shop to order those fenders. Be careful my friend.

 

[forrest5000]

I got parts covered , I'm not going through insurance. I got blamed .

Agree.

Sorry to hear that. I recently was in a fender bender in the Power Wagon and also got blamed, but the damage to the other vehicle means my insurance is gonna be hit anyway.

 

[forrest5000]

Yeah,I know but they not going to get the chance to total it.

Did you not get an Agreed Value policy? I had one when I owned it and there is no way that damage would be a total given the value I had on it.

If it's not your daily driver, ask for antique auto insurance...My 62 will go from $218 every 6 mo. for liability to $96 for full coverage with a $5000 value. They say for use in club rides, parades, and Sunday afternoon drives...it doesn't say what kind of club rides, but I told my agent and he said it was ok.

 

[jfz80]

In NC antique auto has a 3000 mile per year cap

 

[lt1fire]

And i'm pretty sure it is his DD.

80 is the trail rig and 45 is the trailer queen.

 

[uzj100]

Darn. My 100 has that feature as well. 2000 model with 238k. Jb weld? Or just sill with silicone? Any suggestions.

Do not use silicone.

Clean as best as you can and then fill the gap with seam sealer.
