Got a Call From a Guy a few Years Back, Said He Had a Comet that was Hit Hard, I said Ok,, He had a Couple of Photos he sent me in a Text, I said Go ahead and Ship the car, We Can Fix it, So we Discussed Some Arrangements and Made a Deal, and We Went to Detroit to Fetch the Car, and Also Grab a Second Car. So I will add to the Story Every Few Days and Share Photos as we go, Many Have Seen this Car Both Wrecked and Then Done, But it was a Fun Project and Ultimate Save. Joe I will Try and Edit to add to the Story, So Please Bear with me. After Getting Back to the shop with the Comet GT in Tow, and Driving back a Lime Green Comet that was a Possible Parts Source to Repair the GT, Patricia had her Fun, Lol ,,, driving in front of the Tow Van incase of a Breakdown, She did Great, We Had to by hand get Defrost to work to keep Glass clear and heat in the car, But it was a Very wet and Rainy Day, The Lime Green Comet looked like it was Bathed in White Clay from some of the Gravel Roads we had Gone Down,, Yes I Believe I have a Few Photos of this Trip. Reaching the Shop, The Crew Took Both Cars to Chem Cleaning, They were an Absolute Mess with Road Dirt, So the Van and 2 Cars went for a Bath. The first thing we Noticed is the Differential of the White GT Would have Failed if we had a few more Miles to go, The Collision Damaged the Differential pretty bad, Right rear axle was Bent, and the Leaf spring was Broken. When the White GT Made it onto the Frame Wrack to get Pulled, Taking a few Measurements had the Right Rocker panel at the (B) Pillar in almost 11 inches, Basically the Car was a Banana, about 3 inches shorter on the Right side of Body. Setting the GT on the Frame Machine, We had to Try and Reverse the Hit, and Do This Slow, or Metal gets torn. Having One attached to the Front Frame, then One at Rear Frame, and Two at Right side. So We put Tension on the car and we walked out of the shop for the Night, Each day for 2 weeks I added Tension and walked away for the day, This Turned out to Be the Best Solution. We Saved the Floors, and Trunk Floor and Package Tray area, Yes the Rear Seat was Crushed as well as the Plastic on Right inside Quarter next to Seat, Right front Bucket Seat was as well Sorta Crushed but was Able to be Repaired. Here is More Photos, and Stay Tuned for Next Part. Joe
Show pictures on the frame rack. The "table" and the "pulling stations" are a fascinating piece of machinery.
