I was in Apache Junction Arizona east of Phoenix very mountainous. ..I had a 90 degree turn and at the time I had a Flaming River manual rack in my car..no power steering.I pulled a hard left to swing the car around the 90 degree turn and I couldn't swing it far enough around. To the left of me was a 100 ft canyon drop and to the right of me was a mountain alongside about a 20 foot path..The night before stones fell on the path....I skidded on the stones and hit the mountain sideways going about 20 mph...The bonnet and the right front wheel really got clipped...We ran 3 tests on the frame and the frame was fine...$21,000 US and 5 months later I had my car backf rom Scott's Coach Works here in Phoenix....The man that worked on it was from Poland....I gave him the big FFR manual to work from and he gave it back to me..Told me that he never worked from a manual in his life but boy what a great job he did...He made the original welding on the drivers side look sick....when he finished you could not see his welds at all..You can see my car by clicking on the camera beneath my picture ..BEST REGARDS, DAVE SHULAK, SCOTTSDALE ARIZONA
