Well --- Poor Rudy hasn't had the car back but about two weeks.... and manages to have his first accident since he was 16! Went to change lanes -- didn't see a Honda in the lane and bada boom....

Okay -- so here's the kicker! Pam (my sister) gets out and starts talking to the people while Rudy does the "info exchange".... and 2 of the people were visiting from the Dakotas.... so she mentions that Mom was from a small town there ---- and then says her maiden name --- which matches the ladies maiden name and she's from the same small area ----- So they figure out --- THEY'RE COUSINS! What in the h e l l is the chance of that?? (She is my step sister btw).

Anyway --- now the poor Camaro is at the body shop!

There are so many high dollar beautiful builds on these forums. It is easy to get intimidated or be reluctant to post stuff done at home or down the street. Your build is an example for all the guys on a budget. Time and expertise can fairly compete with expensive hardware and new components.

Thank you Jerry! I agree! I'm just about to run out of money any day now --- and I looked around the shop and couldn't find any talent... so between the two of us we just started the project and the next thing you know - the old POS runs and drives!

If we can do it - anybody can!

How long has Gwen been away?

Is there anyone else in the house with you?

If not, is there someone you can call and have them come over and stay with you?

Smaaall world...I knew we were cousins from another mother Weld. Our last names are just pronounced a little differently Really though, tough break for the sis, sounds like a Bad Penny episode. Glad to hear no one was hurt, car can always be repair.

It'll actually work out pretty well for them Lenie! He needed some work on the passenger door -- and some paint work --- and that will now all get "covered" during the repairs.
