I was dropping my Fury off to the shop today to get the narrow rearend swapped in, driving extra slow and waiting till the streets were nice and dry after the rain, only to have the Cornwell tool guy turn his truck right into the drivers fender of my Fury! &|
Looks like he got just the fender, everything else looks good so far. Luckily I had pulled the billet wheels off to polish while the car was in the shop, Carl doesn't like them in the shop anyway. His tire hit my wheel, luckily those Ralley wheels are steel and narrow. Otherwise the billet wheel would have probably been destroyed since it sets out over 2 more inches and are much softer!
Now the decision is what to do for the World of Wheels show next weekend? Carl thinks we might be able to fix it in time if we can get a fender, but he is pretty full prepping for the show. Or we just hammer it out and lay a fender cover over it.
Hope to have the insurance adjuster out tomorrow, can't touch it till then. I am still kind of physically sick over the whole thing.

Well thankfully it wasn't worse and nobody got hurt.
I'm a firm believer that a new car or newly restored car is a accident magnet. However, it seems once some damage has been done, the car becomes immune to gratuitous hits. So look at the bright side, no more idiots will target you!
How's that for fuzzy logic.
For the car show, put a big band-aide with a big Ouch! written on it. I actually saw just that at a show and the guy still won his class.

I say death to the Cornhole, I mean Cornwell guy, you think someone who drives a truck that big would be a little extra careful ya know What a jagoff, pardon the Pittsburgheze Tom
Have a couple NOS ones located. Now to see how quickly the insurance company will let them ship. Valley Vintage wasn't even sure if they could use UPS ground!
