rack reserection

[meatsauce]

Ok, let me set the stage. Its june 2002, my wife, who at the time is 7 months pregnent, is less than a mile from the house. Some idiot in a 85 caprice classic decides to pass on the left, my wife crest the top of a hill in time to see this idiot who was doing 55 in a 25. She cranks the wheel to the right tring to get off the road and he hits her at about a 45 deg angle. She's was fine and the baby had no issues. The damage was pritty good. The jaws of life didn't help either.
Below are the pics in order of repair.

I imagine that rig will be part of your family for a while. Good job on bringing it back. We can tell by the damage that you repaired that you are a cruiserhead!
