Painful to see someone's hours and hours of hard work like this. But in the end, a helpful reminder that a car is a car...life is so much more than that.

I am sorry to see some ones beloved classic car lost. It's tragic! But Like mentioned above, I hope the occupants weren't seriously hurt.

I think I'm up for another olds rebuild challenge with that redish/brown 73. Have to invest in a bigger hammer and dolly.

That 73 took a hard lick.

Was otherwise a nice example.

On a side note, Who cleans up these cars? Some of them have to be bio hazards for a time. Think about it.

Body shop I worked at used a company that did the "Bio" clean ups. Like the ServPro of nastiness. I assume they got well paid to do what no one else wants to.

What's odd [to me at least] is all of these are front end damage. I've personally seen more where the driver got "crossed up' and slid sideways into a telephone pole etc.

This thread is appropriate for Halloween. The horror! I hope the people in the cars were ok.
