Re: 1969 Short Wide

I drove ole red to work last Friday. The weather was awesome, so I couldn't resist.

Had a little run in with a tire tread off a semi. At 75 mph it wasn't pleasant. It was dark and this thing appeared from out of nowhere. I smacked it and hoped for the best.
It trashed the lower right cab corner and left rubber all under the door and rocker panel.
Fortunately, the damage is underneath so you have to crawl under to see it.
None the less, it hurt my feelings. I will touch up the paint and keep driving her. I hope to upgrade the head lights eventually. Maybe I will get more warning if so. The rubber marks wiped right off with some wax and grease remover, but the flare in the lower cab corner is pretty permanent.
