I'm sure a man of your talents will knock things back in to shape pretty soon.
It's hard to tell from the pics but is the windshield OK?

That smarts! I am over here on the spacecoast and will keep an eye out for a donor roof truck.Also have family in Lake and Marion County, I will let them know to keep an eye out. With a little look we might run across a cab with the doors and rocker rotted out and good roof.

Recently we had an honest-to-God golf ball sized hail storm, dented the crap out of our Mazda. My '89 Bolt was parked next to it with no damage!!! (Fortunately my '40 was in the barn. But, I doubt it would have been damaged!)

I am guessing that whatever hit it was moving really quickly. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2010 Posts: 1,232 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2010 Posts: 1,232 | johntsmith - Mom Nature coulda just hit your truck in a flat panel - but no, she had to smack you where it really hurts. Sorry for your rotten luck. I was a little luckier during Hurricane Charley in 2004. The house was crushed, but the truck was spared!Welcome to Florida in the summertime.

For some encouragement, go check out Larry Canterbury's ordeal with an Oak tree It's amazing how much you can do. BTW, Larry's truck has been completely rebuilt and his new shop is to die for. So up yours, Mother Nature! John

Then I saw Larry Canterbury's ordeal with an oak tree, I felt bad again.
Then I was happy to remember there are no trees anywhere near my garage.
Then I realized I'm on an airport landing approach so I can't call myself safe.
