Reply:Oh then you are good to go. Just wrap the frame with the coat hangers around some 2x's and you are all set. Duct tape would be my 1st choice though. Wire coat hangers are getting harder to source. Save those for OA welding..No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Government programs, once launched, never disappear.

Reply:That bridge is south of Revelstoke, BC  It's about 100 feet above the river! There are more pics of this on the net...When I saw that picture a few years ago, I jokingly said to my customer, "check out the picture of this guy in your old Dodge"Turns out, it was his old Dodge, and that was an old employee driving it!He called him and got the story...He was towing a heavily loaded rental trailer, the trailer brakes failed, he got pushed up onto the guardrail at 60 mph, sliding along, and the heat and weight bent the frame!

Reply:back on the bridge? just throw some chains around the frame just on the other side of the wall and pick strait up and walk it forward with a heavy wrecker.    trucks totaled any way you cut it but no need to cause more damageVantage 500's LN-25's, VI-400's, cobramatics, Miller migs, synch 350 LX, Powcon inverters, XMT's, 250 Ton Acurrpress 12' brake, 1/4" 10' Atlantic shear,Koikie plasma table W/ esab plasmas. marvel & hyd-mech saws, pirrana & metal muncher punches.
