Stupid, STupid, Stupid!!!!!!
Ever have one of those days? Was at a car show the entire day, hot tired and not thinking right.... On the drive home, realized that the door on my '34 Ford Tudor was not fully closed.... so........
(NO IDEA WHY I DID THIS, BUT......)
I OPENED the door while driving 40mph! A SUICIDE DOOR mind you! You should have seen that sucker swing out and wide! Cars in the approaching lane swerved off the road, my wife grabbed the wheel as I LEANED OUT & grabbed the door handle! ALmost fell out of the car...
Got it home, now the damage assessment... couple of small dents where the door HIT the panel behind it, and the top of the door, on the rear section, is pushed out about a 1/4 ". Doesn't look too bad, the body work, other than the pin stripping, won't be difficult... BUT anyone know how to adjust the door so the top will be closer to the frame again?
Ditto on the model kits! My best were lost when the Hobby Shop burned under suspicious circumstances....
How did you get hooked on cars?
