My solution was to total it on black ice. The whole front end has been replaced. All said and done, it was probably the steering gearbox being bound up that let it get away from me. When I had the muffler replaced, that was as you describe.

Realistically, it will be spring before my boat tail is finished.
The worst I've seen was 1990,when the whole dry lake was under water.
But 2014 was really wet leaving out from the access road,with submerged moguls,which tore the diffuser off the truck.Oncoming traffic produced waves which really raised the water level hitting the mechanicals.
Layne said,this year,salt conditions were perfect.Thin,but perfect.
Black ice,gotta love it!
Don't set a deadline for yourself,for getting the tail done.It will be enough work by itself without the added stress of a clock and calendar barking at you day by day.
It will be fun to see at 'work'!
