glad the wife is ok and walked away form it all.  Dosent seem like the car got it to bad for what it went through

[Reinovator]

my wife's fine,
a friend who owns a body shop  down the street from the accident sad he went out to the road when he heard the commotion and saw some girl walking around the car swearing like a long longshoreman. and got a little upset when they made her go to the hospital.
He didn't realize she was my wife. he laughed. 
I also had to explain to him that it's procedure to do that now days you know every body's sue  happy. what I can't under stand is why they had to cut her shirt off when she was up walking around before they tied her to the stretcher.

I've pushed out the rear 1/4 panel and changed the left lower Control arm, next the right tie rod and end. Should be road worthy soon  I just need mirrors, drivers door glass, and side markers  then rework the body a little at a time.
 I need that cars gas mileage 28 mpg vs 8 mpg in my 88 Suburban is a big difference.

It looks like I will be able to work on my Panel this week after all.

they cut my shirt off after i got to the hospital

[DnStClr]

Your project is looking good. Sure am glad Mrs Dragonlady is ok. I bet the hospital staff REALLY got an ear full when they took the scissors to her shirt!   

[Reinovator]

I know she wasn't happy, it was a uniform shirt. but my wife knew it was procedure.

[Reinovator]

I got the parts For wife's SHO.  Rear Bumper Installed and Painted not bad except for the dust devil that went buy should be able to sand a buff it out. Next week I can get back to the Panel
 Yea!!! Yeppy yahoo!!!!
Now whats going to happen!
Oh crap I didn't say that,never mind.
 Don't jinx me Please Please Please... 

[Reinovator]

 Getting ready to slide into shop.
  Hay, has any one here ever placed a receiver hitch behind a  license plate.
I want to  install a rear roll pan with a hidden hitch. Should I make the brackets and install the hitch first? or go ahead and install the roll pan, then install the hitch?
and is there a kit for the hitch?
 If pic's are available that would be nice also 

[Captkaos]

I would put the pan on then mount the reciever accordingly.

[Reinovator]

Thanks, I thought that would be the best route.

This is basically, what I imagined, it would take,
1 check fit the pan, (clecoed in place)
2 install fuel door cover, licence plate holder. like a 84 caprice(this is what I have)
3 cutout hole for receiver hitch and plug, and room to get at pins.
 mock up hitch, fit, weld up brackets, install, etc.

did I miss any thing?

[Reinovator]

  MAN, is it just me? or does every body have the same problem as I do.
 Every time things get slow and I get a chance to relax and have fun working on something I want, some major situation comes up and throws a monkey wrench in to things.
I just want to work on my panel!! Not everyone Else's FINE (Freaked out, Insecure, Necrotic and Emotional)  problems.
Well, I guess there's always next week.
