gatorincebu Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Alain, I was totally shocked to see the mack in pieces. I know how that feels. And your work is much better than mine. What I did was put it for a little while. Then I brought it out and finished it . I know you have to be upset, frustrated and........................................?? looking forward to the rebuild . Be Well Gator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyGrowly Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I feel like playing Taps. But every one else might be right, a rebuild is still a possibility. My deepest condolences.Jonathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxer Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 That is one beautiful plow ... just take a break and breathe ,,, I'm sure you can get it back together ,,, weathering can hid a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackd Posted March 17, 2016 Author Share Posted March 17, 2016 Thank you friends for your good comments. I started the repair. I looked at the positive side of the accident. I'll make some corrections on the job done too quickly.I'm lucky only pieces a redo are the clamches of the Hood. The other major point is the rear column, it is curved. The other parts are breaks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
