Would they total this

[01LonestarBullitt]

Went skidding off some wet roads the other night and bent the hell out of my sub frame connector on the passenger side. It was just enough to tweak the frame i think to mess up the door gaps but still drives straight from what i can tell. I've heard of insurance companies totaling out cars from the sound of a bent frame, do you think they would total my car or would i just be better off straitening out floor plans and throw on some new sub frames and worry about straightening the car later when i can afford it?

:( Not on the "B"!!!
Pull the stock sub frame connectors off,then go to an autobody facility with a really good reputation with collission work,and they should be able to straighten the "B' back nice,and square,and repair the floor!Then add on a really good set of Sub frame connectors.
Is there any more damage,roof line maybe,any gaps with rear quarter glass,and door glass?
Does the insurance know what happen at all?

I know it saucks @$$,

but insurance doesn't know anything yet only cause the shop pointed the gaps out to me yesterday. I took off the damaged subframe connector but nothin happened, debating whether or not to take off the other one that's in good shape. Only other gap that looks off is on the trunk lid wider on one side and narrow on the other.

any updates yet?

You definitely need to have her straighten/pulled at a collision repair facility.It can be done,trust me LOL!I've seen a few stangs in way worse condition then that,and they came out looking better then factory with all the lines,and gaps.
....But that will be your only answer right now. ;)

Got an update on the Bullitt:

Went to the shop yesterday to check on progress on the "B" and they've just about got all the frame work done, it sat on the frame rack for two days last week and he's takin all the measurements he's can and he said the frame is all square again. Doors are sucked back in except for some reason they stick out on the bottom of the rear of the doors on both sides, all other three corners of the door are flush so they find it really weird and kinda of stumped by it. But today they were getting some parts in and starting on all the body work. Will probably be another week before I get her back, i can't wait i feel deprived without that car.

Good to hear it's coming along well!

[oxman]

[stumbaugh]

Well atleast they didnt total it. That would have been heartbreaking!!!!

[1low03gt]

That is some good news.Glad to hear the "B" will be back,and ready to roll!! ;)

[01LonestarBullitt]

lol, I know you'll be smiling when you turn that key again! :D

Well atleast they didnt total it. That would have been heartbreaking!!!!

ya that was my biggest fear, would've been very heartbreaking

i'll keep ya posted and post up some pics when everything is said and done

New up date, All State just called me from the shop saying it looks like they're gonna have the car till around the 19th of May cause they found more damage on the floor pans and they have to replace the radiator core support. As if two weeks wasn't a long enough wait :(

[stumbaugh]

LOL it will be all good. I haven't drove a mustang since the end of January. Try going that long!

[1low03gt]

Just think....when you get the "B" back,it will be good as new!!

[stumbaugh]

It will be like it is the year 2000 all over again!!! :lol:

[01LonestarBullitt]

I know right, I can't wait to see it finished. It's gonna look even better once i can afford some tires for my 18 in DD with some H&R Super Sport springs to go with them and a chin spoiler.

[stumbaugh]

It's going to look sick.

[01LonestarBullitt]

Thought I'd show ya'll these, guy at the body shop sent me these last week, kinda why it's taken them so long to get her back to me.

Ya I did some damage to that radiator core support alright.

[1low03gt]

That suck,but at least it's repairable!! ;)

[stumbaugh]

It could have been a lot worse.

[01LonestarBullitt]

Going to paint tomorrow, picking her up on Monday :D can't wait!!

[stumbaugh]

Is that a nitrous kit i just saw under the hood??? lol j/k

[01LonestarBullitt]

I know i really can't wait, they did excellent work with the frame and all the body work so it should be like getting a new Bullitt.

Is that a nitrous kit i just saw under the hood??? lol j/k
I wish, the thought crossed my mind to tell insurance my supercharger broke off lol

[04_S/C_GT]

I think gieco is one of the only ones that has insurance for aftermarket parts and they have to have it listed when u wreck the car before they will cover it.

[stumbaugh]

My insurance company covered my aftermatket parts on my 04 and I have state farm

[04_S/C_GT]

Did you have to list them before the wreck?

[stumbaugh]

nope. After I wrecked they asked me if it had any aftermarket parts and I said yep.
