I haven't posted much lately due to a crazy work schedule and a few other things looming on the horizon.

However, I know how much of a following the Dirtball has so I thought I would share this update https://www.youtube.com/embed/laH6JcrYTO0

Bummer. Glad to see that Conrad is okay, though.

Headlights being up, while a bummer, might have kept her from ending up closer to you than you would have liked.

Yeah, it's a bummer... but it was bound to happen some time. Four deer crossed in front of me and I got number 3. I really had nowhere to go.

All in all it's not bad, could have been a lot worse. Just waiting on the insurance estimate right now.

Plus side this the perfect excuse for that LeMans headlight conversion I have wanted for years

Ouch, deer can be such jerks. Hopefully you can get it fixed up and back out there!

I like the extended shot of where the deer shat itself by the headlight.

more along the lines of it was forcibly squeezed out by the impact.

Just glad you are ok, cars can be fixed, deer can reproduce, but there is only one you

Deer can be such Shiny Happy People. They trash your front end, then claim it was YOU who tried to hit THEM.

Suicidal deer are suicidal.

Dirtball down? Doesn't even hardly look like any damage compared to most deer strikes I've seen.

Like Conrad said, we have a big Corvette show we are headed to on the 26th. Going to make some covers for the head light openings, screw the fiberglass back together for the time being, and hand letter:

Doe! A Deer! A female deer...

Up the divers fender

Are you referring to the one on the front fender? My friend cut that for me as practice when he got his cutter.

However I have been looking at prices to have some printed. I would love to know if there is indeed intrest in them.

Two part. I would love a few. Also, if you need a sticker guy, I have one. Long time friend, did the grocerylife project for me a few years back. It's his job, he's good. And one of the most legit dudes I know.
