Woman’s emotional reaction to 1959 Chevy Viking after accident before husband took on ultimate repair challenge

If your spouse is incapable of putting up a shelf look away from this video of a man repairing his wife’s 1959 Chevy Viking after an accident.

The truck collided with a forklift, leaving it in rough shape.

It pushed the front frame section back, resulting in a kink and other structural issues.

Her emotional response when the tarp came off made her husband even more determined to get it back on the road.

Protected under a tarp after the accident, Hannah of Cory Wheat Customs had an emotional reaction when it was removed by the insurance adjustor ahead of him taking photos.

“It was hard to see,” she admitted.

So, as any loving spouse would, her husband agreed to spend their date night ‘tearing apart this truck’ after its insurance had been approved.

The restoration

First, the pair assessed the frame damage caused by the accident – noting that they were ‘freaking lucky’ that the tires didn’t get scratched.

“We took those off just to save them from us damaging them because we’re pretty destructive, especially with the grinder,” she said.

They discussed potential fixes, including cutting and sleeving parts of the frame with parts from a donor truck for structural integrity rather than replacing it entirely.

Then, to strengthen the repaired areas, reinforcement plates were added and welded into place.

Next, they replaced damaged components, including the radiator support and other parts that had been affected by the impact.

It’s only at this stage that the pair can reassemble the truck, ensuring everything fits perfectly before painting.

The results are stunning, and while there’s an issue with the radiator during testing, it’s a job well done by the couple.
