In the body shop for repairs

[Balaska347]

Most of you probably heard I had the hood come up at the track and caused a good bit of damage. Well it should be as good as new by friday and I didnt miss one race day thanks to mother nature.

Wow....that is a bummer! May I ask what body shop you are using?

[Hawkeye]

Wow...sorry to hear that. How did the hood come open? Bad latch?

Any carnage pics?

I use JT's in Charleroi. I have had work done there in the past and they are very good and they have been a friend of the family for years.

After I launched the car it shook the tires and knocked the hood loose. Then once I got above 100mph boom.

glad to hear everything is getting repaired sorry to see though

Did you get a new hood or is that one getting repaired?

[Balaska347]

It only put a couple chips in the hood. It is an easy fix.

Oh well thats good then. The hood I bought for my white cat flew up on the previous owner so there are chips in it I'm fixing right now.

Going to purchase some hood pins I'm guessing?

THat makes me want to install some hood pins for this year.

Glad to see it is coming back together....

[1Badbird]

Wow, I bet that scared the you know what out of you! I'm glad it all worked out and it turned out so good for you.

[Bdubya]

Its not a real race car without hood pins in it anyway! Had the same thing happen to me on the street, not even race related. Glad all is good. Where is JT's in Charleroi? I've used RJ's on rt88 he does great work as well.
