Bummer. At least it is a bolt on part without paint damage. The fix will look fine.
I knew a low rider once that did what a lot of the guys in his club did, illegally wire up a car battery to the body and handles.
Said he caught a guy once stuck to his car handle in the middle of the night screaming for help. I guess 57 chevys can handle the voltage ok, but I wonder about the neighborhood cats.
Plus, I was told, some of the guys in his club had severe violence issues, and I wouldn't want to be stuck to one of their cars, late, with no witnesses.

Sorry about another vent post,but it's my turn. While I was at the mall today,some A-HOLE decided to try and break into the Vette. They punched out the driver key hole and messed up the handle. They couldn't get in and nothing was stolen,but the damage sucks. Now I have to waste a day and $$ getting it fixed,I know it could have been a lot worse,but. I guess I'll be going through the passenger side to get the window down to open from the inside. Off to Richey Collision Thursday for repairs, thanks for listening. L8R ZFLASH
What might be beneficial to the members here would be the circumstances about the break in. Where was the car? I know the mall but where did you park in the mall parking lot eg. way out in the boonies or close up . what time of day or night. anything else would be helpful. Could you have parked smarter? Just some feedback to help other

PPS. ZFlash, perhaps it's a good thing you didn't catch them. Very few Sh*tbirds
are worth the jail time. As Sonny557 said, "Do a burn out!"

It is a pleasant remaining vestige of the lost and almost forgotten art of letter writing. A formal letter consisted of several parts; the greeting, the opening. the body, the closing and the signature.
It is also recalls an age of politeness, gentility, and a respect for the sender, the reader, and, most important, the language.

Seems as though someone is on a some sort of mission to force Z to stop using a signature on his posts.

The 12 V battery is wired to a Model T Ford coil. The coil is connected to the car. When someone touches the car the coil will activate, sending about 12000 volts to the unfortunate toucher. It will give them a real jolt but there is not enough amperage available to do serious damage.
It will definitely teach dogs and cats not to pee on the wheels.
