Your car, your call Mike, but if you want a less invasive repair, tell them you'd rather they spent a little more time tinting and shooting some test cards, so that they don't go over into the lft fndr and rt door to blend. The paint appears to be solid, is it? If it's metallic, it's a little harder to hit, but a good painter should be able to do it. The fender also looked easily repairable and they may have spec'd a new one. I don't know the parts prices, but Chrysler got stupid that way when Daimler got into her pants and hasn't relented yet. Damn shame anyway you cut it!  :2cents:
This is an insurance job so I'm sure they spec'd all new parts to replace everything that is bent/broken.  I wonder if you can ask to get the fender back, if in fact they replace it.  It might not hurt to try and patch it up and keep for a spare or try to sell it, but I wouldn't be surprised if the shop has to scrap everything by law.

That just sux Mike. It doesn't look too bad. Remember my little ding at Carlisle?  I'm sure they can fix it all up. Just glad to hear your not hurt.

Glad you're ok Mike :)

Ever time i'm in a situation like that, Professor Fate's famous line from The Great Race pops into my mind - "Hit the button Max!!!" :biggrin:

I remember that line!  :smilielol:

1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.
