17 years and counting, my 59 was nearly finished. Just the trunk to trim out. Then the RR wing got smacked...
Back off it comes for repairs. Good thing he was well insured.

Of course ... if it were perfect, and you kept it sealed in a climate controlled hyperbaric balloon, and never drove it ...

That would be much worse!
 
With the 5 speed it hits 100 in third(on a closed course of course). She will be all better soon. The wing is now
in primer ready to block out for final prime.

My last 3 "accidents" were at 0mph. Both were impacts with my CNC Bridgeport mill. The first time I booted the mill it went to the "x" axis stop and clobbered my wife's car doing it. Then, I moved her car over so it would not hit. But the next two hits were, again, during initial boot-up, when the mill goes to the axis stops...but rather than hitting her car directly, it hit a broom, that hit the grinder, that pushed a barrel...into her car.

I hope I have learned my lesson to give the mill plenty of clearance at start-up!?!
 
Forgot to mention the side curtains I still have not finished yet. You just dont use them when its 90+ degrees.
