lol:

"Note the damage in the center of the trunk.
Looks like the entire body has been tweaked,"



It is the factory crease in the trunk lid, the "entire body" was not tweaked

simple repair compared to restoring a rusty or bent hulk, NOT a "totaled" car IMHO

Jim, I was just trying to show the (barely visible) crease in original photo. I think there are more reflections in the black paint than damage in the &quot;after&quot; photo.

-----I may be wrong but isnt the entire trunklid on a 67/68 Shelby made out of fiberglass??? It would be torn or ripped if it had damage, not dented. I think the picture in question is just showing reflections.
-----Also, as I have said before, more than one state considers almost any damage to the roof to total a car. I know it seems implausible, but its true.......Bill S
