Grebel Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 Yip, and then the tree falls on the car....... Funny story.... HAppenned to a mate of mine. He was bust restoring a '73 'Vette. Had the engine out and the car was on axle stands outside the garage. Long story short, we had a hectic storm here in DBN a few years ago and a tree in his neighbour's yard blew over landing judt in front of thr front axle stands!! Bent chassis, front clip trashed, windscreen, basically everything forward of the A Pillar....( The stands were behind the front wheels on the chassis.)
