    I'm doing good John, thanks for asking. I had x-rays and an MRI a week and a half ago. Met with the spine doctor this past Monday. The doc went over my injuries and basically said it is going to heal itself. I have very slight bulging between C5 and C6 and C7. Some arthritis and a perineral cyst. None of which was caused by the accident in the doctors opinion. The tingling in my arm has gone away for now. I'm going to give it some time. I do feel OK right now. I won't sign off on the medical release for awhile though.
    About the car, I just got back from a local get together and ran into a guy that told me the car got painted this week. I will go by the shop on Monday and get some pictures.

    Even if you feel fine dont close out the medical for as long as you can. Back injuries are funny and just when you think everything is fine you will reach for something and sneeze at the same time and bam. Just an example but a true one from a buddy of mine. Take your time, its on your side. Glad your car is coming along so fast, it looks great btw.   :2thumbs:

    Getting your car repaired quickly and at a repairer of your choice has also set another precedent to throw at an insurance company when they try to do the wrong thing in the future.   :2thumbs:

    The car is yellow again. It is straight as an arrow. I was really impressed. Still needs to be buffed and reassembled. Hopefully I'll get it back in a couple of weeks.
    I took these pictures this afternoon. Hope the picture link works. This is the first time I have tried imageshack.

    Sprecks-
    Glad to hear that you are doing fine (well, as fine as can be expected).  Back injuries are serious - ask anybody here over 40.

    Great news on the Chally.  Even better news that you are happy with the rebuild.
    Stupid question: Have they asked you to assist in the rebuild?  that is where all those small components/pieces go?
    I'm curious because I've done several Cuda rebuilds, and getting the big pieces in place is easy enough (kind of) but routing wires, assembling the rear tail light section, quarter panel light section, etc.  :clueless:
    I can't imagine that they get that many Challys in the shop to work on.

    Here again, just curious.
    And hope that you and the car fair very well when all said and done, :cheers:

    They're covered in the estimate.

    Believe me, I have the over 40 part covered....lol.
    I will be checking in on them quite often and they have my number to call me when ever they need to. The owner has called me a few times for guidance already during disassembly. He isn't afraid to bother me and I'm not afraid to bother him if you know what I mean.

    Sprecks,

    Is that the same color? I guess it looks different without the top and stripes to me. Sweet by the way  :worshippy

    It's the same color. Citron Yella for all of the Dodge people or Curious Yellow for you Plymouth types.

    Very nice Jay! Did you make it to Springfield? If so, I missed you. The power tour had us about 8-1/2 hours of seat time that day.
    You might want to use photobucket to host your pics. For imageshack, I had to copy the "direct" link, the put the {IMG}  and {\IMG}  before and after the links.  See ...
