I'd be mad enough to kill.
I did phantom flames on '55 Chevy 150 for a guy who also owned a '56 Chevy street rod pick up. He had just gotten the pick up on the road and was enjoying a nice cruise through town when a girl ran a stop light and t-boned him. He got out of the truck, went over to the car to make sure the girl was alright, and then took a walk.
When he got back, the cops were there, the wreckers were there, the paramedics were there. He walked over to his truck and started looking at it. The cop asked him if was the owner of the truck, to which he replied, "yes."
The cop said, "Where'd you go?"
"Took a walk."
The cop told him, "I could get you for leaving the scene of the accident."
My customer told him about just getting the truck back together and putting it on the road for the first time, "And if I hadn't taken a walk, you'd be arresting me for murder."
The cop didn't ticket him for leaving the scene.
