Thanks for posting the pictures Rob, I didn't make it to Springfield. It looks like everyone had a good time though. Wish I could have made it.

Just a quick update for those who care. I just got back from the shop and the car is all together. The only part that still needs to be installed is the exhaust tips. The pinch weld under the rocker panel and rear wheel well needs to be blacked out and the R/T stripe needs to be put on. After that a complete cleaning and it will be ready for me to pick it up. I had hoped to have it already but I'm not complaining. The car looks great. All of the body and hood gaps are right on and straight. Actually better than before the wreck. We are shooting for delivery on Saturday. I apoligize because I forgot to take my camera with me so no pictures. I'm a failure...lol.

Good to hear an update Jay.  I wondered if you had it back yet.

My neck is doing fine. I haven't had any pain for 3 or 4 weeks now. I'm really not expecting anymore problems but you never know. I'll hold off for some time before I sign off on any kind of medical release just in case. Thanks for asking.

   :2thumbs:  Good all round by the sound of it, it is a good thing the insurance were quick to respond as some would have still been arguing and now you should get a warranty in case something turns up. Glad to hear your body is working and you are not in pain anymore.   :cheers:

 :dogpile:  AWESOME!

I was just talking about you this weekend at a show.

Glad to see that you and your ride have made full recoveries!
