That sucks. Did anyone else notice the amount of left front wheel wobble when the car put the front end back down? I'm sure that has to stress the front end, too.

Bucky is determined and resilient. He'll be back. Yes he will. I saw the video on Facebook yesterday and it shows him on the top end getting out of the car He was one pissed off dude as I would be too.

Bucky is determined and resilient. He'll be back. I was told it was a rod that let go. Ran into Herb McCandless at the Auburn Auction yesterday.

I'm sure that has to stress the front end, too. one of the reasons they've wanted to go rack steering and aftermarket steering components.... but that "stock" thing keeps getting in the way Bucky was running some pretty good numbers.... still a Line Hemi between the fender wells?

That car looked amazing! Yep. A real bummer. Some times it's best to step away from it for a short before you start to asses the hole thing. Usually not as bad as first thought.

Bodywork will be cheaper than replacing that Elephant. It looked like it done blowed up real good.

He's not one to step away from something and spend any time thinking about it. He's probably taking it apart today and will be on the phone tomorrow morning ordering parts.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

While not a "soft" hit by any means........damage looked minimal. Car should be easily fixable The paint to duplicate might be a little tough on that extremely detailed car. It's a 1 of 1.

It's the second time the car has tagged the wall. Bucky and Travis will have it looking even better the next time around. They are the BEST at paint jobs like this.
