I wrecked my GMC.
I will try to keep this short. So there I am driving to a car show in the GMC in my avatar. Following my buddy in his '65 chevelle. We had come from his house after puting on some trim, bumpers, new wheels and fighting the brakes. Anyway, as we were making the turn from one street to another only one block away from the car show the brakes decided they needed to go ahead and quit working in my truck and I slammed into the back of that beautiful Chevelle. So the Chevelle needs a new deck lid and my truck needs the entire front end replaced as well as the aluminum radiator. Oh yeah, That chevelle had just spent five weeks at my shop getting all the body work done and a nice glassy prismatic dark grey metallic paint job. I had just over 200 hrs in blocking alone in that car! But insurance paid him and I found a nice deck lid with all the other parts on order. As for my truck, it still sits in the driveway wrecked because I am too poor and too busy to fix it. And now im gonna have to paint over that still shining original paint! I have some decent fenders, hood, cowl corners and core support, and will be using the grille from my '62 chevy, I'd probably just be sadder if I found one anyway since I can't spare a dime (same reason I'm stealing the '62's grill instead of looking for a GMC). Turned out to be a master cylinder failure. That was three months ago and it seems the longer I go without my truck the crappier things seem. Okay, I'm all done
