Serious injury of a deuce......

Deuce Injury- **UPDATED**

Many of you have read the thread about my neighbor Mr. Guillory's deuce. He saw mine, had to have one then spent 10 days sanding by hand, painting and restoring his deuce to a jewel.

Here are links to the threads.... http://www.steelsoldiers.com/members-rides/31950-neighbor.html

Anyway, we are having some crappy weather right now, and Mr. G was worried about the rain splashing mud on his tires and making them ugly, so he moved it 5 feet forward. An hour later, he heard a crash from where his truck is parked. The pictures speak for themselves.

When the weather clears, we are going to cut the limb, remove the debris and see about bringing her back to life.

I must be missing something, but that looks more like a broken nose, moreso than death.

A hood and 2 engine side panels?

 

[powerhouseduece]

That sucks!!!!

 

[maddawg308]

It's harder than that to kill a deuce.

Get a new hood, a few more small parts, some paint, and bring her back to life!

And start cutting down some trees, dammit!

 

[Recovry4x4]

Might need a valve cover or governor line too!

 

[kendelrio]

Yeah, I guess I mis-named the thread.... will fix....

 

[spentshell]

Ouch, that could ruin your day.

 

[tomesee1]

that sucks

 

[FrankUSMC]

I think I have a new old stock valve cover if he needs one, I also have some side panels. Free to him if he needs them, my way of saying thanks for saving our history.
One of the few, Frank USMC RET
PS, now, get out there with a chain saw.....and remember Marine, ONLY YOU CAN PREVENT A FOREST, get cutting!

 

[Kennay]

Wow that sucks. It could have been MUCH worse had it fallen on the cab though. Close one.

 

[kendelrio]

Frank, I will definitely let him know about your offer. Many thanks!

Looking at the damage, It looks like his cab flexed a little, radiator support on drivers side is bent and we don't know what damage was done in the engine compartment as his heater intake is in the way for a good inspection. Will update when we get busy removing the tree.....

The good news is, there isn't any mud on the tires.

The good news is, there isn't any mud on the tires.

Bummer though, I hope for a speedy recovery for Mr. G's Deuce. Did you cut the limb because his Deuce might look better than yours?

That would be just evil......

Ouch! I bet that really hurt after such a wonderful restore. Now you got me worried about mine!
It's raining pretty steady, and has been, and will continue to. All I have to do is restore the wheels. Everything else came out mint.
However, I did cut back all the limbs and trees where the duece sits only because my H3, sat there first, and I was hoping that no ill fate befall it.

I hope it is not a long repair.

 

[MWMULES]

Oh now I see it, I thought it was just heavy duty field expedited camouflage.
It's a drag when that happens. Same thing happened to my Jeep a couple of years ago, right in the middle of the hood.

 

[gunboy1656]

Bet he dont worry about mud next time.

Sucks to see it happen, but he fixed it once can do it again. practice makes perfect.

 

[papabear]

I really hate to see that happen. Well at least he wasn't in it so whatever he needs just post it on here and I bet the SS folks help him out. Anything I have extra that he needs is his for shipping cost only.

 

[jwaller]

worried about getting mud on the tires. what does he think this thing is a Bentley?

 

[Blood_of_Tyrants]

That's not a serious injury to a deuce. That is just an INSULT.

Don't kill 'im. You'll only make him mad!
