I accidentally cut off a kid on the road the other day and it caused him to veer left and skid to a stop.* There was no collision, and he did not hit a curb or anything.* But he and his parents are stating that the abrupt stop he made caused the front end frame to bend.* Is this for real, or is he trying to get a new frame out of me?* The car did swerve a little bit*as he skidded to a halt. The car is a 1973 Mustang.*

Any* help is appreciated and multiple replies are as well since I think I may have to go to court for this. I will be happy to give more details if needed.* Thanks a bunch.

Thanks, Sean

LMAO, there is no way that frame bent from stopping. Is the car rusted out? Maybe the frame just gave b/c it was abused. The mustang is a unibody too so i think it was just rotted out and he wants a new car.

Unless this guy has a braking system that rivals a 6 sec dragster there is NO WAY a sudden stop would bend a frame, the car would slide reducing stress on the frame itself only an abrupt impact would create that much stress. Unless the frame is weak from rust, or the car was in a previous accident and wasn't repaired properly. Unless the car was a frame up restoration, Id say it was already bent. Definitly check it out!!
This guys trying to get something for nothing.
