I hit a 16pt doing 75 on I16 5 years ago in my suburban. No blood, or ****, just a small amount of fur. Head went one way, and body went the other then a semi ran over the body shortly after......








cracked block and trans, see the driveshaft as well



another angle



bent axle, broken axle shaft



bent axle



here is your deer hit. Supposedly a 10-12pt <br/>No blood, no poop



Same deer car, torn down, no blood no poop

In your case that was horse****. Deer hits are always front impact, or the deer runs into the side of the car but only affects 1-2 panels.

If you are going slower than 20 than avoiding the deer should be garunteed, 21-40, possible depends on size of *****. more than that, there will be bad damage

I have been getting better and bigger tools for work but a second set for the house is going to be a must. Even if it's a cheap set from harbor freight. Not so bad this week, I must be getting use to working for a living again.

That is the most intestine rivet gun I ever seen. One person can buck solid rivets.

The speciality tools you have to go with the biggies .

On hand tools there are only a handfull of tool and die makers

Its actually a door skin tool. HAHA. I have a huge air hammer that will cut 1/2 rivets out of a frame like butter. I use it to cut through frames and structures with ease.

FORD FIRED TODAY!!!!!!! Sounds intensely mean. Very deep, very loud. But need to fine tune the A/F mix. No leaks, nothing. Finally all that work, I have a strong running motor.

As a bodyman you would need something like that. I know solid rivets are a pain to set.(buck)
