[DeTomaso] Show Car Crashed...

I was told that his leg was crushed in the accident, from the looks of the
damage he seems to be lucky that most of the force was forward of the
cockpit area, esp since we all know the doors are to keep water spray off
the drivers and not much else.

So, experts, is this car toast or can it be fixed or is it better to find
another and move the undamaged good pieces.

I'm making plans to attend that show, we'll see what happens.
