Wow!
It appears the impact ripped away almost every piece of hardware, including the drive-train. It's amazing the paint stayed intact!

I saw a pile of PVC and plastic. You gonna make a paint booth or cover for either the body or frame?

I have to admit that you got my attention. I'm glad that you flipped your Vette when you were not driving it.
