[V8] Small update on Black betty

[Ron Wainwright]

Not even close Ingo... nice guess though.

 The long & short of it is..... I lost a rim @ 70mph resulting in the rim/tire peeling back my fender & bending my door. 
The cause was a few of my wheel studs loosened resulting in the nuts loosening & my rim/tire shooting down the road bout 300 yards & my front d-side slamming the road.

 As far as replacement fenders... what do you think ;-).... but none of them are Brilliant Black. Sooooooooooooo....

...I have a few options.... which gets me in a certain mood, know what I mean ;-) So taking that into account I was thinking,

light weight fenders, hood, rear trunk. 

Do I have enough good spair fenders, front/rear bumpers, doors, ect to have my body shop prep & paint everything, remove the dents, little bits of rust from the whole car & put everything back together as factory new..... SURE... but again taking into account, well it's me were talking about I was thinking of going a "bit" over the top.....BUWAHAHAHAHAHAAAA
