Yes, that's Dave Dodge's. Rather unique looking with the wood panel dash and 3" dia. roll bar!
Pete's car was given a once over before we moved it. We didn't see any obvious fluid leaks but this ordeal consumed almost an hour as we first just stood around and assess the damage. We were not sure if this accident was precipitated from the infamous broken Bilstein shocks but as it turns out, that wasn't the case. We couldn't come up with anything more than Pete just getting a bit too hot into this sweeper, getting sideways, then rolling up and over the berm. He didn't dent the rims as far as we could tell, but scratched up the bottom pretty good, however, no damage to the
oil pan, no damage to the axle or diff., no damage to the transmission. As you can see, his side pipe took a good hit, as did the front/lower fiberglass. The radiator pet-cock was bent and loosened a bit but I tightened that up easily. And since he's running a J-pipe, backing up for the exhaust port that got crunched wasn't a big deal so he was able to keep going for the rest of the weekend. When we got to the B-W in south shore, he even took time to clean it up! We didn't realize he had the car for only 6 months so unfortunately, he learned the hard way how NOT to take a turn so fast. We blame Russ since he was leading!
