Re: Ouch, my poor Z28
I don't know your plans for the repair, but if you need a roof, I have one in the garage (original Chevy) you can have. All you have to do is come get it. LOL...us 2nd Gen guys have to stick together.

Re: Ouch, my poor Z28
You guys are great. I spoke with a Corvette restorer in Houston that's interested in the car and he said the roof would be a fairly simple repair. He knew just what needed to be done. He and his brother have restored hundreds of Corvettes and they'd like this project as they started out in the body business about 40 years ago.
Someone requested pictures of the crease in the roof and the door, but I deleted the message by accident. Sorry, if you send me the PM again, I'll respond.

Re: Ouch, my poor Z28
Well, the Allstate adjuster just met with me and wrote an estimate for $5,500 (parts and labor). Bent frame rails, creased roof, radiator shoved into the engine, damaged suspension, wiped out windshield, inner and outer fenders, hood and damaged firewall.
That sounds about right for repairs, right?

Re: Ouch, my poor Z28
$5,500 parts and labor? Tim, thats a joke right? I assure you my cosmetic restoration shop would not touch that car for anything short of $20,000.
