well, I had a great night last night finally after all this time gettin my car together, shared some great moments with some good friends working late and just seeing it all come together....and then one of the worst moments......I was backing the car up into the booth the touch up some stuff, all we needed was touch up, front seats in and some minor things and we were ready to head out at noon. I put the car in reverse as I have many times and backed into the booth...then put it into drive to straighten out....had my budy watching for me next to the car cause it was all masked off....i snuck forward and then the brake pedal dropped to the floor, i tried to get to park but the shifter is a ratchet style b&m and rather clumsy to shift from 1st to park, I had only seconds and it happened. Directly in front of me was my recently finished restored 1957 Tbird. I slammed it on the passenger side bumper/fender....just had the bumper $2000 chrome job done. THe front seats actually save rear of the tbird becuase it slammed into them and it didn't contact my garage door at all, just about shoved the driver seat throught the door tho.....actually the seat is fine, just poofed back up. Well the pictures tell the rest of the story....needless to say I am glad no one got hurt.....not sure what happened yet, just lost all pressure........worst day ever, still going to detroit tomorrow with a big bandaid on the car....won't let it beat me.....lots of cool stuff to look at still.
