OT's 'New York' Polo repairs.

[subi-crosser]

We grabbed onto it saturday with all the POWER that my shakey old rollback could muster.
I applied enough force to tear a Chevy in HALF, but the SVX stayed bent!
I got 'creative' and put a 'snatch-block' into play. This gives 2 times the power, but 1/2 the speed/distance. This resulted in the damage near the drivers door being stretched to about 1/2 what it was. (it was hit in the LR corner)

I have ripped the front end off of a Chrysler Newport with this rig!
The SVX is one TOUGH cookie!!

We managed to pull it far enough that the new parts will fit and the car will be 'whole' again! (DANG!!! These are HARD cars!!!)
This is the TOUGHEST car that I have EVER had to 'stretch'!

If I would have put THAT amount of 'pressure' on something built in the last 30 years in America, it would have been 3 feet LONGER than it was when it was BUILT!!
No pics yet, but the 'Red-Green' SVX will be posted soon!!
