Matt from Strong's Garage in bad non T accident
I'm sure many of you who use YouTube are familiar with Matt and Jim from Strong's Garage. Recently, a video was put out by Strong's Garage informing of a recent accident involving Matt. Figured I would pass along the news. He was driving his 1966 Ford / Mercury pickup truck wind someone ran into him head on. There is a GoFundMe page setup for those who would like to donate. He survived, but it's going to be a long recovery.

Yes, it's terrible that bad things can happen to such good people. Based on that photo , don't know how he survived but Jim on the show today said he is out of the woods and gonna make it.

Likewise, many prayers to Matt as well as his family. My gosh that's unreal. And I don't have to tell you how I think this happened.
God bless him.

Re: Matt from Strong's Garage in bad non T accident
That must have been one terrible impact. In 40 plus years in autobody repair, I have never seen a cab removed from the frame.
Cars split int two, yes, but that this something I’ve never seen before
I hope he is doing better and has a speedy recovery

Re: Matt from Strong's Garage in bad non T accident
The Ford PU was really hit pretty hard to knock off the cab. Hopefully the driver is OK. If the driver was in the cab that’s a real serious accident. Maybe the cab was removed after the hit but if it wasn’t that’s an another story.

I got the impression that HE was in that P.U.
That's the only one I see in the picture. Back then they had a lot more steel in them no doubt.

Re: Matt from Strong's Garage in bad non T accident
well, the cab is held on by 4 bolts. i had to replace-patch my front cab mounts on my 66 to allow the column shifter to work again. so they are not held on by much. sheesh,that is hard to look at knowing i drive 1.
If you can't help em, don't hinder em'

Had a pickup near me get into a bad accident. Tore the cab off the frame and jettisoned the motor from the chassis. Of course, the vehicle that caused the crash was doing 100 mph
