The tale continues...
"...Well, under a heavy snow load, the building collapsed and crushed my car.
It got crushed from beak to butt. If you view the pictures, you will be able to see the imprint of the air cleaner in the center of the hood.
The roof over the windshield snagged on a piece of metal from building when they raised it off the car, which pulled the car roof back up a foot or so. You can see from the pictures in the building that it took a serious load all the length of the car.
By the way, there was a split window 63 Vette parked beside mine that didn't get touched." (WebMaster comments: It just doesn't seem fair!).
(In the picture below it almost seems as if Greg's pride and joy is A - O.K.! Can you imagine? ...now if I squint my eyes and don't look too closely then it all looks pretty good...
...but then I open my eyes again and there is just no getting away from the cruel hard facts of the situation!
MY FIREBIRD's BADLY BENT!!!!!!!!!
"I have attached several pictures in a zip file. I have included both before and after pictures for your enjoyment. Feel free to post these pictures if you like!
Incidentally, the car is being repaired at the same shop that did the restoration. (Pioneer Automotive, in Hudson, NH.)
I enjoy your page very much! Thanks for all the hard work.
Best Regards, Greg"
And now as the reminder of what condition this beautiful Firebird is being returned to, see the images below.
I want to thank Greg for sharing his misfortune with us and the good nature in which he has done so. I know that I wouldn't be so positive given the same circumstances. Nice to know that this one is again rising from the ashes!
