Re: Finished my 64 two days ago and this happened!!!!
Ugggh! Damn cell phones! Glad you're ok.
I grew up with a guy who was into Datsun 510s. I mean really into them. He finally got finished with one that he had put tons of work and a few years into just like you. A week after it was finished - rear ended. He pulled the frame back and ran it some more. Over the course of the next 4 years, that little car ended up getting hit 5 or 6 times and every time it was right after he painted it.
These days, whenever I even get the idea that Im gonna paint the '63, I think about Woody and his 510 and decide that its a "forever project". I don't want some jack weed on a phone in the latest disposable import to reduce the last 10 years of my work to nothing. Im seriously superstitious about it.
On the bright side of things, these trucks are nearly completely rebuildable, parts can be had and at least the ricer's paint kind of matched yours.
Again, happy you're not hurt and hoping the insurance doesnt hassle you too much.
