I guess it really doesn't matter now,.. what he was driving and,what condition the surface was in.
If all you have is comprehensive and liability, and No collision insurance. It doesn't matter.

Got the ends bent around today. I cut the wedges out of it and stood it strait up and down in a vice and heated it with a rosebud. Had a buddy of mine stand on the table and put some pressure on it and she bent pretty easy. Now its just a matter of welding it back solid where i bent it and tracking down some pipe for the brushguard. I got some pics of it on my phone. Ill try to put them up later.

well got it started today easy enough. Pulled the rad away from the fan and was able to drive it. Fan really did a number on that radiator. I hope its repairable.

That's good to hear. Are you gonna take the guy up on his offer.
What was it? I think all you have to do is drive down to PA and pick up all the parts you need.
He apparently has a spare parts truck your welcome to pick from.
Nice bunch of guys over at your Ford site
