Now would be a good time for the rest of us to look over our work areas for possible safety hazards and accidents waiting to happen.
Hopefully, after you cool off and evaluate the situation, the project can be saved. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2008 Posts: 283 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2008 Posts: 283 | I'm glad to hear no one was hurt.

Hopefully, after you cool off and evaluate the situation, the project can be saved. I did take a walk out to look at the damage. Honestly, I think it is over, I would not trust the door openings to be correct any longer. I did have an X welded into the openings, but the whole things is not pretty. While I hate failure, my thoughts are that this truck was too much for me. Should just be used for parts now. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 66 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 66 | What all was damaged? If you are handy with a welder I'm sure you can still save it, you might need to buy some repair panels but, you can do it. I wouldn't give up on it just yet. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 1,859 Grumpy old guy playing with trucks, cars, and boats | | Grumpy old guy playing with trucks, cars, and boats Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 1,859 | you would be amazed at what can be straightened by a body guy. A friend of mine was hauling his '72 triumph body from his workshop to a storage location when someone ran into the side of the trailer, sending the triumph body spinning off the trailer at 50mph.
2 hours with porta-power, anchors, body jacks, etc. and the body was straight again. A little work on the rashed parts and it was good.
The problems we face today can not be addressed at the same level of intelligence we were at when we created them - Albert Einstein Or with the same level of $ - Me
