One morning on my way to work i was driving down 167 and some jerk weaving in and out of traffic broad sided me in the carpool lane spinning me and my car into a complete 360 at over 60 mph on the freeway, lucky no one hit us by some miracle but the jerk took off and i was just sure my car was too damaged to take off after him. I still havent seen him to this day, but if you ever see a white late 80's ford fairmont with a roof rack and a big american flag in the back window and the drivers rear quarter panel smashed in, in the seattle or kent area SEND HIM INTO A DITCH!!!! My dad really pulled through on this one, he spent many weekends and late nights helping me fix the car and pull dents out and sand, the worst part of it was a big mopar show was coming up in 2 weeks so that was all the time i had to work on the car and i still had school, my dad and i worked late into the nights he'd do the majority of the body work for me then i would paint it, and it was then when i got a new idea for a cleaner look a "T/A" stripe, not just any "T/A" stripe i designed a color changing stripe just like the original but it changed from blue to red, with the help of my cousin Ben i got the stripe designed, layed out, and painted all in one afternoon, then my dad buffed it out to a brillant shine.
