Progress!

 

[sixtiesmuscle]

More Progress, and a huge setback..... The Day they got the body sprayed, My best friend of 40 years and the Man I build cars with was in a horrendous crash in his truck. he got hit head on after a young man driving too fast in the rain lost control of his car....It was a terrible day that will change his life forever... he had a brain Bleed, Broken Jaw,Teeth knocked out, Broken Ribs and a punctured Lung, Broken Back, and Both lower legs and ankles had compound Fractures....I love him dearly and I am praying he will recover.

 

[Dave6T4]

Oh man! That is really hard to hear. It sounds like he is pretty busted up, and lucky to be alive. My prayers are with him and you. It looks like the crush zones on his truck did their job to save his life. Kinda takes the shine off your new paint job. Sorry for your friend.

 

[dmoore]

Deeply sorry for your friend.... I know it will be difficult for you these next month's even years. Glad he is alive.

 

[PRND21]

Prayers for your friend.

That wheel and tire combo looks great on the car!

 

[sixtiesmuscle]

Starting to get everything Re cleaned and detailed !! Then putting her back together.... still waiting on my Large pieces being polished..Had to create my own homemade patter paint.

 

[sixtiesmuscle]

The Garage was clean..... Now they're are parts EVERYWHERE !!! More cleaning Body dust out from underneath... even though it was well bagged up, that dust gets everywhere. Now that I have headlights and taillights, I took her out for Gas and Breakfast !!

 

[sixtiesmuscle]

Sunday was a great Day. Terry is just now getting out of his hospital room to go outside..... I took the car down to show him the fruits of ALL HIS HARD WORK !!!

That hood scoop really works with the car, the lines and profile look like it could have been a factory option.
