Ouch, I am really sorry Mike. I have been following your car for a while now, and I know how bad it is when you are just about finished, and something goes wrong. One step forward, two steps back. Sucks that you can't make the Pleasanton show either, I sent my dad up there specifically to look at your car and take pics. Oh well, I'm sure he will find some other cars to keep him busy. Good luck with the repairs, and look on the bright side, at least you were safe and there was minimal damage.

Thanks guys. We should find out tomorrow what happened. I have talked to the distributor about this, and he and Jason and the team are going to find out what happened. I'm thinking it may have something to do with the custom made brake brackets that were on my 10 bolt, and then shifted to the 12 bolt Moser. Although we don't know yet.

omg.. what color is your car?? It looks like the exact same color combo as my old '69.. especially the stripes..

Sweet ride man.. very very nice..

Hey Steve, remember you gave me the color codes for your 69
Thank you very much BTW. I may have to put off vegas a few weeks though.

Mike,

Sorry about your car. At least you are ok. I looked for your car at the show this weekend...now I understand why I missed it. Keep us posted on the diagnosis. That is a scary thing to have happen. I had a similar incident in lifted 3/4 ton suburban at 80 mph with my whole family on board...I was lucky enough to make a safe landing as well. I don't blame you for being scared of driving it without explanations.

Damn Mike, this could have been VERY bad! Scary never the less though!!

I'm glad to hear basically everything is ok...paint damage would be a major setback at this point!

Installing a roll bar or even a cage isn't a bad idea for many reasons...and going with a lighter moter only helps too...I say open the check book!!

The new seats are going to look great!!

All in all we're just glad you are ok!!

Thanks guys. Yeah I was lucky. Car might at worse case have about $1000 of damage. Those bars saved it.

Man I am so sorry that happened to you. Very scary. You seem to have a good attitude about the whole thing. A front tire shot off of the driver side of the nova I had before the one I have now at 80 mph. The car fell onto its brake disk and came to a controlled stop on the side of the road. The tire shot across the street ( Luckily no on coming traffic) hit the curb and believe it or not shot so high in the air the wheel went over the power lines lining the street. I am very glad you only have $1000 in damage because I had images in my head of a dented quarter panel from the car falling on the tire.
