This might be one of the worst luck stories I've heard! Hope the door didn't do to much damage. Guess that was a better place for it to fall than the hood or windshield. Just looking on the bright side.
Do you have a thread on your current avatar pic? I like the looks of (what looks to be) your '31 Model A sedan.
For you guys with sectional doors with the long coil springs don't forget to run the safety cables through the center. I had an insurance client who had a really nice 72 Nova sitting in garage with door closed the door spring broke and shot across the roof of the Nova putting a huge dent and screwing up the paint in various places on its trip to the back wall.
Damn! For some reason, I'm always a little leery of this happening. I've often though about running a couple "safety" cables from the rafters and under the garage door rails, it would basically catch the door if it fell off the tracks....
