I just rolled my vette

Ripped the a$$ end right off it, thankful I wasn't hurt.

I'll have a bunch of parts up for sale soon.

Maybe I should've titled this thread Ricks rotisserie.

There is a nice lady on board here looking for rear quarters to eliminate some old flares. Maybe you can hook up with her.

How'd those work out for you?

I'm trying to unbond the front clip in one piece and thought rolling it over might make it easier. Not easy either way.

The windsheild frame/front birdcage has proven to be good and solid.

Sorry guys, I couldn't resist.

Did I miss something? Seriously I hope the hell nobody just wrecked their car.

If so this would be in very poor taste and I will ask a mod to remove this thread.

Worked out great. Reason I knew you took them off the vert was the color. Did a little sanding and a little buffing and they are great. Been busy working on interior and haven't put them on yet. Thanks again!!

It looks like the bird cage held up well. Makes you wonder why anyone would put in a roll bar. Must have been a sick feeling when the chassis separated from the body. I make a note of checking the body mounts on a daily basis, especially during the summer when I'm driving the car.

RICK! You dog! I 'bout threw up my spleen when I first seen the thread title. As soon as I opened it, I seen the color was different than what I was expecting. (that blue looks familier...hmmmm)

As long as it's 'ol blue flipped, and not the Red One.
