Re: 55 Wagon Progress

So I've been rather lax on the updates as we've had a distraction here at the shop. Someone had a mishap in returning home on Memorial day (about midnight) from one of the local watering holes. Let's call him "Dale Jr"







Seems he was coming in a bit hot in the final turn where his left tires were out in the grass in the opposite lane..







Which, when combined with over-correction....



















Here, I guess not wanting to go a lap down, he took the nearest path back to the "track", completely ignoring pit road to his right....







The remnants left behind suggested the drivers window broke out, likely when this gem flew out of the vehicle...







So we've been rebuilding from that the past few weeks in spare time, pre-painting pickets to limit June/July sun exposure.....















and we finished off here yesterday around noon...







Still have one more coat of paint to apply, but this will hold it until cooler days or the next mishap at the track..
