I just completed repairs after a Deer vs. Barracuda accident that occured on July16th. I purchased the grills from 66Cuda so I saw and heard his beautiful car when I went to pick up the grills. It is a very impressive car.

Mark, Cosgig/Geof has some grill parts for me that I will pickup next Wed. He says they are also pitted so I am continuing to try to find alternatives. Geof, is also going to try to locate better grill parts for me at the MOPAR Nats this weekend because I cannot go this year due to conflicting...

Thanks for the info. The adjuster and I discussed that issue today because i believe that it is very likely that any grill pieces I find will have to be refinished/chromed. Steve

Geof, That will be great since I can't go to the Nats this year. I'm hoping to have the car repaired well before Monster Mopar Weekend in Indy Sept. 24-26. Check your email and let me know when it would be convenient for me to come up to buy the hood from you. I have your phone number and I...

My 1966 Barracuda was recently damaged in a deer vs. Barracuda collision. ( See threads on Early A Body Discussions forum) Consequently, I need the 2 left side grill parts. Namely, the chrome egg crate grill and the chrome surround, with or with out the headlight bezel. (See attached photo)...

MOPAR Fans: I am very pleased to report that today I was notified by a Hagerty Insurance adjuster that they were approving the settlement of my claim on the basis of the $1,087.35 higher estimate prepared by my body shop instead of the $2,317.81 preliminary estimate that was prepared by their...

Leanna, Please see my responses to the 2 previous posts. I think it will work out okay. I'm just impatient to locate good used parts. Thanks, for your interest. Steve

So far the the process with Hagerty has not been at all contentious. I'm probably being a little impatient. I'm fairly confident that the disparity in estimates will be amicably resolved. Steve

Thanks, for the info re Mopar City, I'm in Oakwood, IL so they are reasonably close. So far they process with Hagerty has not been at all contentious. I'm fairly confident that the disparity in the estimates will be resolved amicably but i'm probably just being a little impatient. Steve

This post is intended to a follow up to the cautionary tale I posted last week regarding a deer strike that occurred on July 16th. I conversed with my Hagerty adjuster last Tuesday and he told me that he had received a copy of the preliminary damage estimate from their appraisal firm and it...

Jim, FYI, I posted a thread on the Early A Bodies forum today seeking parts. Steve

We lost a 13.5 year old female Labrador named Jody almost two years ago i know the loss you are feeling today and tomorrow. Our dog experienced the onset of a msyndrome the vet called "ODV" or old dog vestibular syndrome. Her eye shook from side to side and she was so dizzy she could not...

Thanks, so far I have been very lucky with vehicle vs. deer accidents. this was my 3rd one. The 2nd was the worst. It involved a 2003 Dodge Caravan going very slowly that sustained $4,800 in damages acquired in my attempt to avoid 3 deer standing in a very rural road. They were around a...

I believe they will pay for packaging a, shipping and cost of purchase as well as any necessary refurbishment post acquisition. If you have any of these parts please send me a PM and I'll respond with an email address so that you can more easily send me an email with photos and quoted prices of...

I will try again to post the photos. Thanks, Steve
