Dodged a bullet

After my grim discovery Wednesday.............

I began slowly unravelling the mess......

I'd say I was pretty lucky.......small dent and scratch on roof

And some missing paint on the drip edge.

I sure expected worse!!!

I am glad it wasn't worse.
We have to protect these Uni's, after all they are "rare" - says so all over Ebay and Craigslist, lol.

If that was a modern vehicle it would have been inside out, on fire and leaking fluids all over your lawn. Good save

It looks like you escaped this with minimal damage.

You know you can make a comprehensive insurance claim on that, won't raise your rates.

Congrats on the "save". Very nice truck. Start parking it in the living room (just 'til you get a shop)..........................

Glad to see you made out relatively well, Tim. Dean and I were at a swap meet yesterday, saw one of those portable garages just like that there. Here it would be called a "Sail"

I told Dean I could use it to come visit him without spending any gas. it would blow the 100 miles east in just over an hour, I figure

I sure expected to see more damage than that...Glad I was wrong.

Glad it was minor stuff. So, what are you going to replace the carport with?

This might be the time to start thinking about a tu-tone paint job now Tim.
I'm sure the better half will agree. She's a nice lady. She's my favorite gal from Leesport.

Found one more 7 " gash in the drivers door....no dent just thru the paint to metal.
I know what you mean about a sail JC but I had it anchored to 6 tractor trailer brake drums 200 lbs each.
UP was not the issue this time tho LOL

Always breezy here, thats why I stopped using a regular cover---it was rubbing on all of the corners.

I will repair but with STRONGER pipe! It will stay this time. My boro allows these but I looked into a metal carport and they want to treat it like a building as far as codes go. So if that was the case --I'd put up a building.

I have been bugging Wyatt to let me park in his garage for years........maybe now he'll feel sorry for me!

And I don't want a 2 tone truck!
