Why you not just buy new car? That looks like a lot of work

It's really just a minor repair. Looks worse than it was. The smc was not busted all the way through on the hatch, just splintered. The filler panel was cracked through but it's gtg now.

Sorry if I’m behind on this but what happened to the car? Rear ended?

Spinning from a roll, got away from me, spun around a couple times, into a parking lot and I clipped a light pole. It was spinning hard, bumped the limiter in 2nd and shifted to drive. Wheel speed was probably around 120ish and we were rolling maybe 50. When it went, it was gone. I'm not sure what happened that time but thats the only time I couldn't get it gathered back up and I had done some really long roll burnouts in it before this. It had a bunch of nitrous on it before I blew it up and did the motor thats in it now. Nitrous spinning is fun.It tore the bumper cover mostly off, got into the spoiler, hatch, and filler panel.
This happened in 2013. The cars been chilling with a black bumper and used pewter spoiler since then. I didn't drive the car for about 5-6 years after that. 2018-2019 I got back interested and ordered to 11s for the back and all the emblems and things (NOS stuff) and then time got away from me. Fast forward to my last bout of pancreatitis, last September. Not drinking and being bored in general, I started messing with it again. Thats when I ordered the radials that @randeez recommended and why I was so adamant it not spin anymore. When it got away from me, I was on a 5 lane road and and we covered all 5 lanes. Cars were coming and I thought I wasn't going to get it gathered back up and back on my side of the road. It would've hit on Stephs side so that really bothered me. Thats why I just let the car sit. I suppose I was punishing myself for what had happened. She doesn't like to spin anymore so we got sticky tires to help with that
Casey has been supposed to paint the car since it happened but we could never find them time (or interest from me really). After we finished his Yukon, I told him my car is next. I'm over it and I want to drive it some. Now we're here.

You need an AWD, massive motor, big turboYukon like randy, he never has problems like that. Seriously glad you didn’t die or hurt someone!

Did more ranger stuff since the Tahoe ac still works.
Changed tranny fluid which had probably less than half a qt in it, supposed to have almost 4. Then I started hacking stuff up again. I’ve always liked the look of a high clearance cut bed with wrap around bumper, so I cut stuff and welded stuff. Not even close to done but I’m digging it so far.
