Default Hit a deer





Smoked a deer doing about 50 in September on my way to work. So I replaced headlight, straightened out the ac condenser, and replaced the radiator. Cost me less than $100 but the header panel was cracked in half, the grill was missing and the headlight trim was busted on the drivers side. So a few weeks later I went to the junkyard picked up the header the grill and trim off a black xj. Got pjn paint from automotivetouchup.com just one 16 oz can and a can of clear coat. Then I got some chrome duplicolor spray paint. What do you think?

Everyone asks that. The deer was dead but I'm not a hunter so I wouldn't know the first thing on how to carve that thing up. Hind quarters though right? That's what I hear.

I avoid those ****ers, though I've had one kick my bumper when I locked the tires up when it decides to run in front of me.
