I have a local alterations shop place that will sew up/reinforce the front of the legs.

That 12.5 % bleach at work is killer on them.

It is a local shop in Bolivar...I will get you the # of pieces and cost when I go pick up my bag of repairs I dropped off last week. There were going to recover the whole front of the legs.

See I can always come up with an excuse to come up here.

Afternoon All!

I'm home for the day unless I can get a hold of this gal that couldn't wait to get an Impala removed from her driveway. She sounded like it was her number one priority, but she won't answer the phone. ...some people.

Ol red started right up with the jump start box on the old battery, then I cleaned up the shop for a bit. Found all kinds of "truck stuff" in there. lol

Getting ready to move ol red out of the shop under it own power, on the Friday after turkey day.

Alan when and where is the car crush pyramid?

Ouch...



In the grand scheme of things, the damage to the side of the van is pretty limited. The fact that everyone is safe and the camper undamaged makes everything else sort of trivial. New rubber has been ordered and will be installed ASAP. Until then, it goes nowhere unless its an emergency.

Rich. The record attempt is on April 15th of next year in Strafford. It's gonna be a 42 car pyramid.

Dave. That damage isn't bad at all. Let me know if you want to get it taken care of.
