and why the fawk do you need brakes in a standard? thats what 1st gear is for ....

a couple of days ago.

He forgot it wasen't in gear and dropped the clutch but by then it was too late

details on roll?

it was where you normally are coming down off of coal hill, crossing over that little "ditch". he was coming down off the top of the hill on the right side(looking from the top) and it started gaining momentum, locked up the brakes, and throwing it in gear didnt help as that was done too late. the ex-cherry scrambler ended up facing up coal hill on its passenger side.

This happened when? Saturday? still no pictures...

:shock: :shock: :shock:

that's not that bad. All of our rigs were pristine at one time...then we saw the obvious truth that they aren't meant to stay that way. A little bit of sheetmetal and glass, then presto! All new again

I wouldn't belittle it that much, it was a very nice restoration, the fenders hood and windshield wouldnt be too bad to replace; unfortunately the tub as a few nice folds in it that would be a little more difficult to deal with.

Yea henry... not to say some of our rigs are not that nice looking but that thing looks show quality, sorry to see that happen to something so nice. I hope you can bring it back to its original beauty.

that scrambler was worth more than your jeep and your life ... beautiful restoration with tons of time into it.

when you resto one hell of a rig and pour blood and sweat into making it perfect, then roll it, come back and say its isnt so bad. it hurts when you build it to be perfect and then it rolls.

I agree 100% with the rolling a beautiful rig that you busted your @$$ on sucking really bad, but my point was that it could've been way worse (I assume that nobody was hurt in this incident).

That all said, Scrambler, if you need help fixing your rig, I volunteer my help.

I agree -- it really sucks to roll something that has been completely restored. My dad and I spent years restoring a 69 Camaro -- only to have my uncle total it. Dad's still mad about it....
