Glad you are OK.
I am sure the car will look good again, but main thing is you lived to tell the tale.
Cheers,

Great to hear you are ok, Lonnie. I'm sure your driving ability saved what could have been a worse wreck. I know times are tough, so don't hurry it back to health the wrong way(which you would never do anyway). Good luck.

Before a wildfire spreads and anyone wonders about the facts. My Saturday morning time run at the Mo-Power classic event ended in disaster. After making what I thought was an outstanding run thru the 1/4 mile 9.57@ 138.17(New best MPH), after I lifted at the stripe and went for the brakes my car went into what I would describe as engine braking(jake brake) and began to decelerate hard, had enough time to look to see oil pressure good and then rear tire lock up @ approx 90mph car was briefly perpendicular to the retaining wall before it rotated a little more and left front into wall bouncing left rear into wall. Left front fender is a loss and quarter gonna need extensive work, but did not strike the wheels and all frame work okay, did not even bounce me around in the seat. I am sure there are some that took pictures, and it is okay to post them, but long story short I am just fine, now need to find out the root cause. Suspect trans failure of some sort and there was trans fluid leaking after I came to a stop. Thanks to everyone that checked on me, and I WILL BE BACK! 
Sorry to hear you kissed the wall, and I see here on Moparts that you have gotten 39 man hugs but no one asking if they can help you out. I always help out my customers when they crash my fiberglass parts. Give me a call here at Sled City Fiberglass 1-614-875-0369
