Stop it. I'm at work and people are looking at me, wondering why I'm laughing out loud, tears streaming down my face.

At a loss for words, can't top it.

Nice finish with the straight face.

No, I have not posted them yet, as they came out kinda lousy for one thing, and I'm not really all that good with the photobucket thing either.

Here's the pics that came out best.
The first on is of a nasty crimp, in the door jamb..



Second, if is wrong angle, is of the "Bowing" of the left inside kick panel. it is pushing up against the dash, towards the top.



You can see, in the third, the way the door, is actually twisted. As a result, I had to secure the door closed from the inside of the truck, with a pull strap, which went across my lap, to the passenger door.



I have more, tons of them, but I did not have the time, to move them to Photobucket, so I selected the best ones. Got estimate today, after dealership took out most of the dash, removed the door, and some outside plastic trim items. Total estimate, because the whole door jamb needs to be removed, and replaced, along with the door, and various accessories. There is also exterior damage to the plastic Faring, on the drivers side. Total estimate at Freightliner dealership comes to $6500.oo +/-

Told you the pics came out lousy. How do you guys circle, or mark certain details on pictures anyways..? I could better point out the damages, if I could do that, and you'd have a much better idea. With the damage being so wide spread, and the Crimp in the door jamb, not showing very well, in the sideways pic, it would be nice to point out the details I'm talking about.

Regards, Nick

If the photos are digital then most photo editing programs will allow you to add things to the image, like circles, arrows, text. There is a "light" version of Photoshop which will allow you to do all of that and is not terribly difficult to learn and is not very expensive eitther.
