Default The Car Is Back And Looking Good

I got my car back today..wouldn't you know it would rain..it hasn't rained in a month and the day I go to pick it up mother nature takes a wizz on it.. ..they had it finished last Friday but I was at road Atlanta for the race and didn't have time to pick it up...all the paint work was done but when they drove it they found out the the driver side rear axle was bent...took a couple of days to get the axle in and installed...I was jonesing bad for my hot rod..I had a C6 vette to drive for the last 3 weekends but I was really wanting to ride in my car..don't get me wrong it was nice to have a new vette for the weekend but it was too quiet, no lope, just kinda dull..I'm back in the saddle again!!

PS the car looks great they did a real good job..it looks like its new again..

To make a long story short Josh..I had to go ditch diving to avoid hitting a couple of deer..they cut out the rocker panel on drivers side and there were some scratches on that side of the car too..tore up three wheels and a couple of tires.. bent panhard bar too..I had them paint the whole car while they were fixing it..

You can post pics under the "manage attachments" buttons in the reply screen or use [img] tags if you have a pic on another website . Just need to put [img] before and [/img] after the pic address . If you go with the manage attachments option it will show up as a clickable thumbnail kinda of like this:

Now I put the tags around it:
and you get a pic.
