Trouble @ Vette Fest III
We had a wonderful time at Old Town all day long and the Vette was a hugh hit in the evening muscle car cruise. It was a great day until it was time to leave that evening.
The Vette pushed over the wheel stops as I pulled onto the trailer and droped off the front of it smashing the nose on the tongue and front fender flairs on those 'stops'. It also caught the rear fender flair on the trailer wheel cover too so LOVE will need a lot of attention. Waiting to hear back from Grundy Insurance. Can't blame anyone but myself...I was the driver. :banghead:View and weep with me.:eek: http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...img_0306-1.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...e/img_0305.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...img_0296-1.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...e/104_3761.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...e/104_3759.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...e/104_3762.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...e/104_3769.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...e/104_3771.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...e/104_3772.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...e/104_3775.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...e/104_3776.jpg |
Damn,That SUCKS!!!:banghead::banghead:
I've got a solution though...................... Drive that Bad Girl to the Shows!!!!:thumbsup: And ride that ride with a Smile!!!!:thumbsup::thumbsup: Sorry about your car,I'd be Freak'n and Slamm'n stuff around for a month!! :D:D:D |
Oh man! I'm sorry to see that:(
|
Major OUCH!! :ack2: Man, REALLY sorry to see damage like that.... :nonod:
|
Oh Man, that hurts. I am sorry to see that happen.
I had a similar problem when getting the Vette on the trailer for the trip from New Jersey to Florida but thank God the stops didn't dig into the body of the car. Sorry, Glenn. Hope the insurance company takes care of it. Lou |
Insurance
Thanks guys.
Looks like it may be a stress free incident for me. Grundy Insurance contacted me this morning and I have NO deductible, so no $ hit there for me. They have no problem where I take it and I've been in touch with Phil Somers @ American Supercars over in Hudson, Fl., (the people who built that super wild V-7 Twin Turbo rear engnined '63 that won GM's Excellence award this past SEMA show), so it will get quality repairs that I won't have to worry about. The new future owner who is about to buy the car said he has no problem with the damage as long as the repairs are up to the quality of the current car, so looks like it's a 'minor' bump in the road, if you can call such a thing minor. I'll keep you guys posted as things go along.:thumbsup: Oh, on another UP note, I just got my Vette Vues Magazine for November and there is a 3 page spread, some in color, of Love Is Blue. Great job, "Dragon". Thanks, Glenn |
Glenn, I really like pictures, BUT JUST NOT LIKE THAT! :eek: I'm sure that Blue will be repaired, but have you given any thought to modifying the trailer to be sure that the same thing doesn't happen again? I'd like to hear (and see) what you come up with. Good luck with the repair process, and keep us updated with pictures of the work being done.
It's OK BLUE :itsok:, Glenn will have you lookin good in no time! Andy Anderson :wavey: |

However, just saw on the news that gas is down to $3.09 in Zellwood!! Great news. :dancer01:Hope it keeps going down. At least that's one good thing to come out of this depression! |
Sorry
Glenn:
Sorry about your damages.......:eek:......Please tell me you can get it fixed before the "Ultimate Corvette Party".........:D. :hehehe: Jim :hehehe: |

I sure as hell can't rush the body shop if I want quality repairs...and I do! I'll let you know how it goes along later. I don't know how extensive the damage is underneath to the glass, (stress) but the time frame is getting too short it looks like. don't know if it can be done by mid November if it's more than just the fender flairs and nose. Everytime I look at it I find more damage. Sorry. We'll see.:nonod: |
