Appraiser was guessing 3 to 4 weeks. But I'm waiting to hear from the body shop to see what they say.

Well if it's still down and you want to make the race in August, just let me know.

Up yesterday at 1:30 with a phone call that a ambulance had been called for dad, then to the ER. Left there at 4:40 just in time to walk in change clothes and walk right back out to head to work. Worked my 10 hours then back to the hospital, and finally back home at 8:30 last night. Needless to say I wasn't excited when the alarm went off at 4:05 this morning.

Think I'll try to get some Garage time in this evening. I've been couped up in this house too much. What I'd really like to do is get the cab raised up off of the chassis on the old truck so I can coat the frame and replace the bushings. I'd also like to get the front inner fender wells off so I can coat the front part of the frame as well.

It just keeps getting worse...
I made a trip to the body shop to give them a key to take the tool box out of the bed, and either the tow company, or the lot that it was taken to had done even more damage to my truck.

The first picture is after the two tree's were removed. And the front bumper was fine.
Second picture is on the roll back. Front bumper was fine.

Third picture......

I swear, it seems you can't catch a break. They need to just cut you a check and be done with it. It will save your sanity.
