That is the first time I have ever heard of that happening. I had one car fight me like that the whole build. Once I finally got it to the track. All was well. It was de-bugged already. I'm thinking if you get it to Drag Week it will seem like a cake walk. Sorry to see this Mike and know how it feels to fight every inch of the way but I too had similar luck w/my junk and almost put lead in it but as stated, after all the bs I was happy I didn`t for many reasons. Sit back,have a cold one or ten and get back after it.

Sorry to see the bad luck. I have been wondering what will happen to my D50. The last 3 hot rods I had before it did not end well. In 1992 my 67 GTX was stolen, In 2002 my really nice 1971 Demon was hit while parked in the staging lane and was totaled, and in 2007 my 1969 Valiant race car was stolen. It was a total loss on all of them.

The piston on the lift bent 90*... my luck SUCKS Wow, I feel bad for you Mike. I've never seen this before either, but I have thought about it collapsing many times while working under mine. I'm glad you were out of the way. The car is easier to fix than you are. Oh btw, if the radio only plays oldies music, you might want to get rid of the car.

Wow! Sorry to see this Mike, it's crazy when things happen at the worst possible times. That's like m luck, if it wasn't for bad luck I wouldn't have any.

Wow, sorry to see that happen. Just crazy how the ram bent like that! The only saving grace is that the nose of the Rampage is made of rubber instead of metal.
