Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback
It'll be awhile before I'll assess all the damage. With all the things flying through the air it might have a bunch of dents & dings. (I still hope not) I already see some scuffs in the paint where stuff bounced off the car. The hood is destroyed. I assume I'll be able to repair the hinges that are really bent & twisted. The left fender can be repaired too (you might recall that it is also fiberglass) but I'll probably need to disassemble the whole front end.
I'll spend most of this morning focusing on yard cleanup. That storm really was weird. It seemed like the wind was directed downwards (towards the ground). It produced a massive amount of flying dirt and even moved heavy objects (like cement paving blocks). I think that's why it tore the hood from the 'Cuda. The wind apparently whipped back up off the ground and put so much force beneath to actually cause the hood to burst. - Like I said, - it was REALLY a weird storm.
Teresa snapped a few photos of the massive dirt cloud approaching as she was driving home. It had already struck here.
