Well the turbot-bird is dead. I totaled her tonight on the turnpike. I was on my way home tonight from another day of working at bass pro doing about 60mph (speed limit is 70) it was raining. There was a car in the woods and another car stoped in the middle of the road to look and by the time I saw it it was too late I hit the brakes and swerved but we hit and now the front right courner is in the tire. From what I saw on the side of the road its too much to worry about fixing. Im just going to pull the motor, trans and the rest of the good parts and store thim for a project down the road. now I have 2 spare motors. oh well. everyone was ok, that is the main thing. Im going to go out tomarrow and look some more and take pic. sould have some up on my site maybe within the next few days.

Am I missing something? I don't see the pics on your site. I've found "before the paint", "after the paint" and "engine" but no wreck
