Hello guys.. I have a treat for you!
(but before I post... sorry admins! I know you tell me about the pic rule almost everytime.. but can we let it slide this time for beauty?)

On our way!

Waiting.... it wasn't all done as promised

Loaded up!
80FT from the storage unit.... DISASTER STRIKES.... one of the tie downs snap over the weight as we go down a hill....

WE HAVE NO TIME.... SHES STARTING TO BUCKLE.....


USING BUBBA TECHNOLOGY WE OPERATE FAST... 2800LBS IS RESTING ON THE TIN DOOR SILLS AND FIBERGLASS BODY JUST BY THE FRAME!

...
ALMOST THERE

ONE LAST PUSH!

INSERT THE FINAL PIECE FOR ROLL...

..............
LOWERED and stable... HOUSTON WE HAVE ROLL!!

The aftermath...


That plus some messed up $50 tin rocker mouldings... and some cracked small fiberglass that is around those mouldings.. still strong but needs re-enforcement..
From the beginning...



The body guy and his employees did the tie downs... and he knows the car was rushed out of there last minute with some issues... that the car has to go back for ... he said hes going to fix the glass and repaint it// its not that bad, I am surprised I held my cool after what happened when I picked the car up... it a long story I don't want to explain....
P.S....... You still don't get to see the front end in its entirety! I gave you some teaser shots... but you are missing a few major components to putting the whole front end together... MUAHAHAH...
There isn't a WHOLE lot left to do to make it running.. If any members are in the Las Vegas/Pahrump, NV area, I could use some help and hands... these vette's are tricky!

That is one beautiful car. One thing, though. Always use at least one CHAIN when tying down a car, at least as a safety concern. It takes a lot to break a chain! Don't let this little setback deter you, though. That Vette will be AWESOME!

Louis,
That is one cool color blue. I really like it. Great looking ride. Lucky the damage was minor. Good thing is it sounds like the body shop will make it all right. Once its done and back in your hands and your driving down the road Im sure you will laugh about it. Best of luck getting it running.

The paint looks amazing! Good luck with getting everything finished. I think I would have just sat down and cried if that happened to me!
