I won't be showing anything for a while since my truck is still only a rolling frame. But it would be fun to meet up with some board members.

skunkwerx · 07-20-2007, 07:44 PM

BACKYARD88 · 07-23-2007, 04:13 PM

Wow, I think you actually have worse luck than I do. It's gotta get better though...

skunkwerx · 07-23-2007, 10:56 PM

skunkwerx · 07-23-2007, 11:01 PM

here some of the wreck,look how close my green truck got to the fender on the trailerwhen it slid over.

skunkwerx · 07-23-2007, 11:03 PM

closer look

02_GMC_97_FIII · 07-23-2007, 11:43 PM

Ouch not fun, sounds like a lot of bad luck! Can semi relate with the front end/accident, just getting my '02 back from the body shop hopefully tomorrow after a half month hiatus with a new front clip, paint, etc. Couldn't imagine the rest of the stuff on top of it, bright side it only can go up from there and least it spared the show truck.

*72CSTC5* · 07-24-2007, 12:02 AM

Dude that sux, I walked by your truck a few times but could not tell who the "owner" was. Glad to hear you and your family made it home safe.

skunkwerx · 07-24-2007, 08:51 AM

yea at leased no one was hert and it was still driveable.

72BlckButy · 07-24-2007, 01:56 PM

Sorry to hear of the stretch of bad luck. At least the show truck made it through untouched though.
