Well, I finally got the car stripped down and took it to the frame shop. Basically the roof, and everything behind the doors needs to be replaced. I should have it back in a couple of months.

The heck with that, hang them in his bedroom.
I would have hung him on the Wall...JK
Good luck with it.

Thanks.
I found a giant nut (the kind they bolt street lights down with) at the scene of the destruction and put it in his room. It is sitting right on his TV, and every time he sees it he thinks about that night. The dash is on a shelf in his room for him to see too.

This kind of hits home for me as I endoed and barrel rolled a '67 IHC Scout 800A when I was 15. My dad and I had worked on it as a father/son project for 3 years (bought when I was 12). We re-arched the springs, did some frontend work on it and found a half-top for it and had it painted. It was really cool and I was devastated when I wrecked it.  Dad calmly reminded me that it was just a bucket of bolts and we could replace it but he couldn't replace me! I've never seen my dad so white and drained looking as when he saw it lying upside down in a wadded up little ball after the crash.

I'm proud of how you handled this situation, on such a delicate matter, how you handled this may well have saved your relation ship between you and him and possibly,your family...all of which is more valuable than any car.I've seen more costly and damaging mistakes made without costing a cent.
Thanks for sharing this struggle you have endured, maybe we can all learn from this, and I hope you get that car back together!

I finally have a couple more pictures to post. It is coming along. He is using all AMD parts, and they seem to fit well, not perfect, but they work.
