Cool project you got going on, those guys are living the dream. Did you think about 3d printing "jackstand" with a nitrous bottle ready to spray it? Or maybe Mr Sam.

Finished up a big job today, back to normal work hours tomorrow. Everything passed, good to go. Now if I can just get back to my bench.

Here's the letter I received. Personal info blocked of course. This is a hobby forum, so I took the pics on my bench for laughs

The trucks 13 years old, 70,000 on it as of today, but with the damage, value is gone. Not that I plan on getting rid of it.

I have no clue, I assumed this was done and over with in September, you can see the source of my confusion.

Sometimes "the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb".

I want to thank everyone for their insight with this, I had figured this was done and over with. I think I'll call that office tomorrow and see, just out of curiosity. This whole thing was an education for me, guess it still is. Thanks again for all of the insight

My truck was legally parked, unattended, on a city street. They were speeding according to the police report, and drunk. The owner of the van had the bare minimum policy required by the state. Both the owner and driver are Spanish, English as a second language and if it was a company van, not a legit one. I spoke with my company, they Said this will not impact my rate, and waved the deductible. But they were going after themselves, we both have the same company. I was also told that ,because they were parked and unattended, I was in the clear for any liability. If we were driving, different story.

It states right in the letter and included victims right pamphlet " no metal duress" or something along those lines

I'm thinking the open case thing, makes sense now that you mentioned it. Sorry to hear about your situation, something that happens all too often that shouldn't.

I thought it was interesting, good story behind it, plus I know a lot of guys around here build this era of cars.

Me either, and I don't believe I have any "loss". Trucks fixed, nobody's hurt, and this guys life is now more of a mess. Not being the "bigger guy", I almost think this letter is a "formality"

Owner of the van had the same company I do, which is why I believe they waved the deductible. Honestly, just sitting through a victim impact panel watching this guy get screamed on would be great to see, but that would never happen.

The whole situation was a mess, driver no insurance, owner of the van had minimum and a history of insurance issues/fraud. Both myself and the other other vehicle full coverage, and taken care of. I'm not out of pocket for anything, including deductible, I just think there's a lesson to be learned here, when this first happened I just wanted a few minutes to "speak" with the guy, I've calmed down since then.

Sorry for the vague title, have no clue what else to title this. Back in August my truck was hit by a drunk driver, insurance covered everyone's damages (my truck was pushed into someone else's vehicle) nobody was hurt ect.ect. last night I got a letter from the district attorney talking about seeking restitution because I'm considered a "victim". More like the recipient of another's stupidity. I didn't lose an time from work, vehicles repaired (they waved the deductible nothing out of pocket), so I to me it's done and over. Other than this person dealing with the consequences of their actions. I'm not a greedy person by any means, so please don't look at this in that way. My question is, is it worth responding to this letter asking that they "get the book thrown at them"? Life has educated me many times, and those lessons were hard learned, maybe this individual needs the same?

Very nice, the hauler is as well.

That's it.

That escalated quicky.

Great job on the paint.

Implants of the surgical type are now being created with the use of metal 3d printing.

Models, in all definitions, come in all shapes and sizes now, but are still made of plastic.

Well, whatever it is, is interesting. I myself haven't seen anything first hand, and best of my knowledge nothing has gone on around this part of N.Y.

Here's one: your tone, your talking to me all wrong.
