BTW, I absolutely *love* that it was you there with me the very first time when I showed up at 2am or 3am or whatever it was, and now 7 years later it's still you here, doing it yourself on your car! Thanks for being here for the long haul!
If you want any content stuffed into an earlier post, send me the content and tell me what to do. At some point I'll implement a solution that allows everyone to edit as they see fit again, but it's not yet, sadly.
LOL @ me driving the wrecked car! :-D Hilarious. It was fast! :-)

Stripped the crushed car of all parts. Sold what I didn't need and shelved the rest. Then cut it up and traded the good sections, gave the bent stuff to my yard guy to haul off and collect the scrap cash. Said he got $76 for the bent sections.

Obviously I'm one of the few that can comprehend your sense of humor.
But yep, in it for the long haul. Enjoying the ride.
I'm sure it was much quicker than when I drove it considering all the parts that were removed. I bet it was nearly 500lbs lighter.

Painted the engine bay while everything was out. Much nicer than the silver car with red engine bay.

I never noticed this thread until Fred pointed it out. Great to read, gutted about the car vs. tree part, but then again good to see you use the event to build an even greater car. Godspeed! Hope your project turns out well
