First time hitting a deer/ causing damage to one of my cars

Yeah the ex rear is leaf spring mounted so it would take some fabbing and welding to make it work.

Width can't be too far off though

Not to hijack the thread, but I thought only the sn-95 mustang rear would work with our cars...?

Oh. My. God.

Vinnie said a swear word, time to wash my monitor off with soap and water...my eyes too while I'm at it..lol

I've hit 9 or 10 deer since I started driving ('94) and only one did damage that I wasn't able to repair myself...

Save a car...shoot a deer.

Down in Kansas City, they used to have a problem with wildlife getting onto the runway...I think the biggest problem was coyotes..

Deer can exist just about anywhere, a few years ago in Brookfield (about 4800 people, 5 miles from me) a deer busted through a plate glass window on a store, ran amok inside, before exiting through another window. Blood everywhere..I saw it myself after the fact.

Probably not many deer in the 'burbs of Chi-town, but in the more rural areas, I'll bet there's a few lurking..

Talk about bambi bites back lol

I'm going to be ready for them next time. I want to fab up a solid steel off-road type bumper, so they fly further with virtually no damage to my truck haha

Hit one in 2000 three weeks after a paint job (note overspray on radiator). It left poo on the hood (note poo on hood).
