2010-Nissan Armada. Packed in the back end so hard it needs a new frame. Most of the hit was on the hitch. Almost no bodywork needed.

Bryan. Is it a shop effort or did one tech get the job? How many hours does this one pay?

Chris-Yeah, one guy got it-a body guy. I think they normally pay about 20 hours, probably will take him more since he will be doing it in the bodyshop and not using 2 service bays and hoists. The posts are for a brand new body stabilization rig needed for BMWs and other higher end cars. It also will take a little longer since he still has to look for other collateral and related damage from the accident. I have seen Tahoe re-frame jobs done at Friendly take about a day and a half using regular shop hoists.

Tony-I've seen one before. This one was customized a little, I bet you've seen it too in the movie Stripes.

Those GMC motorhomes have had a place in my heart since I was a kid. Hot Wheels has had a casting of that since they were new. I remember them in the popular orange and they still make it today actually. I still have one that came out of a super heros set painted in Captian America scheme. This one has a viewfinder in the back window that you can look inside and see a hand drawn comic strip type image of him in the back of the motorhome in some sort of an action pose.

I didnt take any of these pictures. Neither of them belong to me. Found them by searching Google. Second picture is the model I have. Mine is in respectable shape too.
