Thread: Project $ 3 K Is Underway

Wow, just wow!!! I read her statement and the entire HAMB thread you posted Gastrick, thank you. How scary. From the sounds of it something locked up in the tranny, and one person ventured the opinion that it might have been the shifter dropping down from when she came over the bridge bump.

I've had the same discussions with people who chastise me for not having a seatbelt in either of my roadsters, but I have always felt I do not want to be strapped to them if they flip. In her case it was what probably saved her......getting thrown clear. I worry about my Son in his T because I have driven these little pocket rockets for years and have learned some lessons on what they can do in a heartbeat. He seems to respect that though, so hopefully he will take it easy with his.

I guess the brightside is that statisically we rodders are involved in fewer accidents than the average passenger car. You rarely hear about a hot rod or custom wrecking, compared to the daily carnage of family type vehicles. But when it does happen the results can be very serious. I'm so glad Megan came out of it so well.

Here are two other rods that I have pictures of that have wrecked. The light colored T bucket supposedly was wrecked when some girl borrowed a roomates T and punched it coming out of a gas station. The other black one unfortunately resulted in the death of the owner/driver.
