Christmas damage

Junior out driving last night on a twisty two lane. Gets flashed by an oncoming driver so slows down, rounds a blind curve at about 30 and due to another oncoming car can't swerve to go around the big rock in the middle of his lane. Says he pushed the rock about 30 feet getting stopped before it finally broke up and he got past it. Buggered oil pan and AC compressor belt adjustment brackets are all I see. No steering or suspension damage that I can tell. Drives fine. Anybody got a set of those brackets you want to off? The frontmost one is nearly torn at the bolt, isn't going to last long. I've emailed Phil for a pan and also to ask about the brackets. Wish I had a PNP around here. There is one fairly close and he's got a 240 but it's federal and has a different AC setup I think. Close call, I guess the kid is lucky, but DOD is not pleased. Aimless driving....
