Hopefully, someone saw this in real life and bought this guy a beer. Simon Smith, a 53-year old guy was walking in England when an out of control bus smashes right into him.
Dark Horse News released the video that shows Smith being struck head on and flying almost 20 feet down the sidewalk. And not only was he okay after the accident, he got up and walked into a nearby bar, The Purple Turtle, without even waiting for cops or medical assistance. According to the BBC he only suffered bruising from the accident and no arrests were made until the investigation is closed. Wishing this guy a full recovery.

This week on PowerNation our 4 shops have some handy takeaways you could use on your builds. Plus Katie will feature this beautifully restored 1949 Chevy pickup named ‘Ol 49 that’s been passed down from one generation to the next. Owners Jo and Adrean Shelton restored the truck in Jo’s dad’s memory. They turned to The Hot Rod Shop in Corinth, Mississippi to transform the 3/4 ton flatbed into a more modern classic truck in about 9 months. After lots of body work on the steel body, they dropped in a GM crate 350 engine that rolls on American Racing Wheels and Goodyear rubber. The bed is Oak with a Jacobean stain finished off with polished stainless steel strips and bolts.
Jo chose the PPG “Carbon Black Metallic” paint color. The interior is two-tone with Charcoal and Ruby leather filled with all the creature comforts, done by M & M Hot Rod Interiors. Also this week Team Summit NHRA Funny Car racer Tim Wilkerson will have a tip on picking fuel cells. It’s one full block of tech so make sure you join us.
