Wow that looks like a violent crash.  I try to drive very defensively.
Spending time with my grandkids gets in the way of finishing my car but I don't regret it!

Wow, that was a nasty one. Strange how the motor/trans stayed with the grill shell.

That's too bad. It looks like speed could have been a factor. The streets in Lubbock are not speed friendly. if there was rain they really get nasty.

My kids keep bugging me to do burnouts and stand on it. I won't do it. It's gonna take a long time before I have the confidence in my workmanship. Plus, these are 80+ year old cars, no matter what we do to them it is impossible to compete with todays technology and safety. I like nice easy cruises
Tighten it up til it strips, then back it off a quarter turn

In cruses at Hot August Nights I have seen two rear end crashes. One guy hit the gas instead of the brake and crashed his Vette into a much more expensive '37 Ford Coupe. The other one a '55 Chevy gasser was revving his engine when the clutch linkage broke. He mashed a nice 50s Pontiac filled with a family. Luckily no was was hurt. The Corvette guy was almost hurt afterwards. ::)  It's even worse during Street Vibrations when the weekend bikers show up.  :o

That's sad. Loss of life no matter how it happens is tough to handle for surviving family and friends afterwards.
