Demolition Derby time...


This is the "AFTER" photo from last years Powder Puff car..  And the before product for this year looks about the same..  Believe it or not, this pile of wrinkled metal is going to do battle again.  I uncovered it, put the fuel cell and battery back in, and it came right to life..  In all reality, the car doesn't REALLY look like this.  I did a ton of redneck collision reapair.  It is a wonder that no one was seriously injured.  The hood and trunk lid were straighted by driving my forklift over them.  The rear body panel and rear quarters were straightened by chaining the car down and pulling it with my car trailer winch.  High tech stuff....




I am not quite sure why I love doing this so much, but I do.  What is even stupider is that I really do not actively participate any longer..  I do all or most of the work and let somebody else beat the hell out of it..  Maybe, next year, I will do a come back tour...  But, I say that every year...
