Re: Chevy vs the Tornado - Chevy Wins New Pics
Has anyone thought about the barn? Can the barn be saved/rebuilt? Were any rats or mice displaced? Won't someone please thing about the rodent children..????

Good to see the truck out with so little damage, it could have been so much worse.

Re: Chevy vs the Tornado - Chevy Wins New Pics
It looks like you'll almost get a complete repaint. Were the hood, tail gate, and RH bed side the only pieces not affected? Still, very lucky.

Re: Chevy vs the Tornado - Chevy Wins New Pics
I'm glad that was all the damage. Like everyone has said it could have been much worse.
Glad no one was seriously injured.

I don't know... underground didn't work out too well for this poor car!



Looks expensive, but all repairable!

Looking at that barn I think you got lucky! None of it looks terribly horrible (I bet it felt horrible though!) glad it wasn't crushed! You'll get it back in shape!

Somehow, I expected this story to be about a drag race between a Chevy Truck and a front wheel drive Oldsmobile Toronado.

Whew! That was a close one. Great to hear it turned out well. A bit of rubbing compound and elbow great and those scratches should buff right out. Lol.
