95 Nissan Hardbody vs. 95 Full size Chevy

Chevy wins big time.......

I only had liability on my truck. So, I'm junkyarding it to find parts. I crunched my passenger front pretty good. But a new fender, bumper, hood, grill, lights, etc, and itll be fine. Ill post pics tomorrow of the damage.

I live in Maine. Im not about to drive a 300 hp Camaro around all winter. Bad for paint and such. Plus, too powerful for wet roads let alone snow.

Here's my new bumper. Needs to be sanded, primed and then painted. I'm thinking of priming it with POR-15 rust converter primer. And then painting it in Rhino Liner. The brackets needed to mount it are already welded on.

BTW, I pulled the bumper. And all that metal was actually right on the tire. I bent it all back out so I could drive the truck home from the accident scene.

Nissan trucks, almost indestructable!!!

Did you pull the metal with your hands? It looks fine, doesnt look like it has any damage to the frame or any engine peices so just cosmetic

Rylinkus · « **Reply #10 on:** August 12, 2005, 12:33:00 PM »

I pulled all the weight off my weight bar and used it as a lever. Theres a hole in the frame rail. Slid the bar in and pulled towards the front getting all the metal and such off my tires. I snapped some more pics last night of my progress and will post. It's looking a lot better. The bumper needs more paint. And there's once bolt I want to drill out before I put the new fender on as it's easier to get at this way. But the lights replaced and the front is all bent back to where it should be (mostly)

And frankly the truck is tough as nails. Its put up with some VERY ignorant stuff by me.

Okay, need to dril out a bolt and put a few more coats of bedliner on my bumper. Here's some pics of the truck bent, mostly back to where it should be.

Its looking better, you going to fix the corner on the hood, or just havent gotten around to it yet?

At any rate good job, and good luck.
