Lady pulled out in front of my Dad yesterday on his way to a car show. She never looked leaving a side alley. He way only going about 30-35 but she pulled out when it was way to late for him to react. She had insurance and it will be fixed but that was the first major damage to the truck since it was new.He bought it used in 67. It was wearing the original body panels.
Thanks for letting me share and be careful, idiots are around every corner.

McC_65_91 · 10-17-2010, 08:23 PM

ouch, sad to see. If it did that to some tough old steel id hate to see her car. theres too many bad drivers out there... hope pop is ok and truck gets back together all right

hoppa · 10-17-2010, 08:24 PM

Who cares about Dad! Look at the truck!!!

Yeah he is fine. He was more concerned about the truck 1000s of dollars and hours ya know. Thanks tho he is upset but knows it will be fixed..she had insurance,thank goodness.

**aerotruk63** · 10-17-2010, 08:29 PM

Is he laughing at your reply?

markeb01 · 10-17-2010, 08:40 PM

So did the impact knock the cell phone out of her hand?

What a shame, you just never know. Many moons ago I spent 5 years searching for an SS hood for my 67 Chevelle. A few weeks later the entire car including the hood was destroyed by a red light runner. I'm glad your dad is okay, just know how miserable something like this can make a person feel. It started out as such a nice day. His truck is beautiful even wrecked. Look forward to seeing it back together.

**ChiefRocka** · 10-17-2010, 08:40 PM

Glad to hear your pops is OK !! What was the idiot driving ?? Like to she her damage !!

Nice truck !!

He does not do the computer thing sir. He would know without a shadow of a doubt that I was kidding and trying to stay positive about the situation. Daddio knows I love him.

Some small car like a nissan or something. I did not see but it totalled the whole front is what step Mom said.
Thanks.. I will post up pix when it is fixed.

Greg63 · 10-17-2010, 10:01 PM

How long before the lady is out of Intesive Care? I'm sure her car kept her safe during the collision, but the beat-down after the collision - that's when the injuries occur.

lha1992 · 10-17-2010, 10:12 PM

Man thats a shame. At least your dad is okay and the truck will be fixed.

onequickchevy · 10-17-2010, 10:36 PM

Ouch man! What a bummer, took quite a lick to do that. Glad everyone is okay, truck will be too.

63sbssbbw · 10-18-2010, 05:32 AM

Yikes! Nice to see it didn't get the hood
I hope her airbags woke her up (not)
I agree about the cell phone,who in their right mind pulls out of an alley without looking or even stopping? (kinda like wandering around on the freeway blindfolded).
Glad your dad's OK

1Bad62Pro/Street · 10-18-2010, 06:11 AM

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggggg!

That's like a Sucker Punch in the face!

I hope it didn't push the cab in...
How's your doors opening and closing?

Dinos63 · 10-18-2010, 11:05 AM

Oh shhhhh tt, glad every ones ok

Bears63 · 10-18-2010, 11:13 AM

Too bad this happened to your dad, but at least he is okay. I know I drive very cautiously anymore, there are to many drivers not paying attention.

**Clyde65** · 10-18-2010, 11:23 AM

where did this happen? I didnt think Midlothian had any roads! JK. I am very glad your dad is OK, I know I worry about mine when he goes to shows. If you need a good body/paint man I know of one in Alvarado.

hoppa · 10-18-2010, 06:18 PM

Think he was around the Irving area when it happened Clyde. He lives in Grand Prairie and he is friends with the folks at Extreme Auto body on Main st. So they do all the paint and body work.Thanks anyway tho.. They do a great job also if anyone around DFW is wondering.
Midlothian is growing man!! we got our first stop light last week.

ckc61 · 10-19-2010, 08:55 PM

She should get life without possibility of porole for such a crime.
Judge should make her pay pentence by making her help fix that beautiful truck.
Glad your dad is ok. Was your mom in truck too?

Hubscrub · 10-19-2010, 09:28 PM

glad all is ok, reminds me of a guy i stopped to ask about some parts for my 86 monte carlo ss he had one hit in the rear, he just finished the car painted a bright red and on his FIRST drive a women hit him while he was stopped to turn she was going about 55 he said the car well......not much left

jbgroby · 10-20-2010, 08:35 AM

I'm glad all that got bent was the truck, dads are hard to fix sometimes

I don't want to throw cold water on anything, but if her insurance company gives him any **** over fixing the truck, maybe a visit from the Corleone family is in order, (incert Godfather theme) or A good Lawyer.
