BirkinBernie Posted April 15, 2022 Sep 15, 2005 7:30pm The 14th and 15th are a blur. Once cleaned up, the car was, much to my surprise, not seriously damaged. I bought and borrowed the needed parts from friends all over town. A neighbor stripped and painted the roll bar, I cleaned, fabricated, drilled, riveted - and shopped. A buddy helped place the snaps in a new boot cover. Exhausted, on the 15th at dusk, I pushed the car into the garage and stood there looking at it - it was ready to go! I dam near cried - friends can do amazing things and they had come through for me in spades. I had taken lots of pics of the damage, and my classic car insurance company said to call them when I got back from the trip. In the end, they went above and beyond to make everything right. And I was leaving for Austin (the first tour stop after Houston) in the morning!! Link to comment
