Looks like it pulled the frame horns in, and the dash appears(hard to tell from the pic) a little buckled. You going to have to replace the frame? [/ QUOTE ] Good eye Shonye! The bent frame was actually the reason for the total. The car is getting a used replacement frame. The dash as well is getting replaced. The only reason the customer is saving this car is because it is a real 138 car with original block and rear end. After disassembly and squaring things back up it really does not appear that bad.

Driver and passenger are incredibly lucky given the fact that they were not wearing seat belts
Hopefully they will not take that chance again.

Glad they are ok. The old 66 braking system especially manual did nothing to help the situation.

Hey Don, Can you retrofit an airbag into that guys column? We have to remember that straight line we drive these cars in should not have any trees in them. See ya later. T
