[GTP#44]

Where else but Southern California will you have 2 exotic cars crashing into an F-----ing dump truck!

Glad your injuries sound minor.
When I read the title I thought racing..?
Then after seeing your story I said exactly what you said two exotic cars crash into a dump truck…how strange.
Could you imagine the truck drivers call to his boss..
You are going you turn into the man to go to with any Consulier issues.
See you back in WPB soon.

Damn!!! Glad you are doing okay. Sorry about your car.

Police report finally done. I am officially not at fault. Ferrari guy not so lucky , he got cited for excess speed.
Now to see what the adjuster will say....

It's possible the adjuster is in for an 'education' when he discovers the value of the GTP vs the Ferarri

Just don't let your insurance co. say they need your title no matter how they want to settle your claim. If you do they're trying to settle and have your state issue you a title with that dreaded "SALVAGE" word on it. Been there done that, Jer

Never have it appraised?
ALL special cars should be before something happens.
i did have my Consulier appraised, if you need a copy I can send one to you.....if it will help.

Work started on blue car today. The formula car fabricator was very impressed with how the car did in the wreck. No damage to subframe mounting points. Suspension undamaged. No misalignment of body panels.
After driving it , he liked it even more!

Picking up a front clip from Rossion, may use it to graft on the outer skin or use it to make a mold. Will be making a mold for the front bumper as well if anyone needs a bumper.

Many different materials and methods found in the construction so far and we have only be dealing with one corner!


Thats the clip in container at Rossion.

Most the damaged area has been cut out.

I can't even begin to express how sick seeing a wrecked Consulier makes me, but on a good note, this is very good insight on their construction.

Worlds first cut away Consulier Andy! Not fun for you but good for the community right?

[polopharm]

Its tough to see, but honestly I feel better now that work has started. And note that in the pictures with the "cut away" , there are inner fender panels which were fully intact and have been removed.

Front bumper repair almost done , then making a mold off of it.
Then 2 new bumpers.
Any one need a front bumper?

dang! late to the party, but glad everything is "looking" good and being fixed, such a bummer this even happened though... subscribed for updates!

Got the series 2 partial front clip from Rossion today.
Not sure if it will be used as a graft, or just to make a mold.
Or it would make a nice arm chair.

[polopharm]

Decided that best course of action was to graft on the other "fender"
New bumpers being made now , waiting on a price to make extras for those that need them.

The "fender" is now bonded on.


The green epoxy is from Sikorsky Aviation. It is what they use in the repair and manufacture of carbon fiber rotors.
The edges of the cuts were beveled and the patch panel bonded in place.

Looking good!

[Rrider]

Don't call it a comeback!

Epocast 1652?

[polopharm]

I am excited as the work progresses.

I will find out what epoxy it is.

He guarantees that i will be able to jump and down on it like i used to do. ( to show people how strong the body is )
