No one really knows that i bought a deuce vicky, well i actually just bought it last night, it was a bone, basically a frame firewall and 1/2 of a vicky body, but on the way home from purchasing it i was driving along and i see a deer dart out into the road, so i hit the brakes, he does a 90 degree turn and head back the way i was going parellel to me, but when he gets past the bed of my truck he jumps in the air to cross the road and nails the cowl on the 32 vicky, flys thru the air and nails the quarter panel and comes to a dead (litterally) stop in between the vicky and the trailor fenders, i couldnt believe it, the 2 good parts of the vicky body are now smashed! oh well, thats the way it goes! heres a pic, one before and one after, they dont look to much different but they are!

We all know Murph's law.... " whatever can go wrong will." ....but there is also Wilson's law...." Murphy was an optomist" Thats a real shame...sorry for your heartache there.
id use its skin for seat covers...you may have to hit a few more to get a complete set but it would make a good story
Jeff, main thing is your ok and congratulations on the New Deuce. Looks like your going to bang a bit more on the body now . I can't belive all the new 32's showing up WOW a Vicky too. Great find!
Well, you had a ****load of work to do on that body anyway, better it happened now than on the way to the paint shop. Seriously, that ****S and keep your chin up. At least no one got hurt.
thats karma for all the cool 32 stuff you have been picking up lately just kidding talk about randum **** that happens tk
One of the great things we live with in this state.Was up to seven hit and vehicle damaged when i first moved out of town.Every time i see them now i lay on the horn,seems to send them the other way.Burl.
Buck or doe? Did you tag 'em? Your lucky, season doesn't start until November for us. Glad your alright though.
As John said,,nobody got hurt,,except maybe your feelings. That was a hard it,,looks like the body moved several inches from the firewall.HRP
hopefully theres enough left to eat.. make up some deer sausage and get out there drink some beers eat some venisen, and get to straightening that body
Sorry to hear about your damage, but if it was a kangaroo you might be dead. look forward to seeing the build mate! '32 Vicky's 4 ever!
Nice, the deer couldnt even die on the road, but on your trailer instead...you take it and get it processed? ****s about the panels....you are on a mission.
...must've been his car at one time and he didn't want you to have it! really, that's tuff luck, but could've been lots worse,...was towing a 55 Bel Air sedan home on a trailer and 4 deer run out in front of us, 2 made it across, hit two with the front of the truck, ..only took out the grille and lights,...I'm glad they didn't do like yours did! ...hope to see ya at the Hunnert... Sam
That ****s man. I bought a deuce grille a couple a days ago and ironically it came off because he hit a deer with the car. But the grille really isn't mangled that bad and its original I'm pretty sure. But sorry about your luck man and gotgas is right.
You should have p***ed the buck! I couldn't believe it when you called after just leaving and said the Vicky hit a deer. We'll just have to find another one. Brian
I killed bambi! it was a small doe, i was kinda in shock and i dont really have the means so i just put her to rest in the ditch and kept going, i was late getting home, didnt know who to call, so i just took off, not the correct thing to do but thats what i did! I mainly did buy it for the frame and firewall, and had planned to save up parts to build the vicky but who knows now. ill dismantle it carefully and stick all the parts away and see what pops up. now its a "deer born deuce", as coined by Bull. Im not mad at all either, its kinda a funny story. JEFF
