    There was a severe hail storm in the area recently and a 48 AD and 67 Cougar we had done got hammered. A section of roof cam off over the pickup and the lady with the Cougar had just moved in her new house and the garage was full of furniture. Both were show winners and ironically the Cougar had a best paint award. Like someone once said; don't feel too badly about having no shoes when someone else has no feet.

    Of course, if it were a GMC, I doubt there would be many dents to fill...

    Evan, your lady customer needs to get her priorities straight. Leave the furniture out in the yard and keep the Cougar in the garage.

    ah thats not bad

    You should see when it happens to an airplane! and you just cant throw some Bondo on then or tap them out witha hammer . Imagine drilling out hndreds of 1/8 rivits and then drillinga new skin to match and then riviting it back on. Did i mention the hundreds of rivits,

    best place to ride out the storm

    What is the best place to duck into if you get caught in a storm? under an overpass of course if on the highway, but if there is a car wash nearby - why not - no body else will be using it.
