1969 Dart Street/Strip (Re)Build

It will probably be a fight with Progressive..... Pick a good shop to fix the Dart, one that knows how to deal with insurance companies. Most body shops that work on old stuff don't have much experience dealing with insurance companies. I have been a catastrophic insurance adjuster (auto) for 12 years....

Still waiting for the ok from the big boss at progressive but they have it totalled up at $6400 at the moment. What I'd have to pay to cover the remaining part for a full repaint is still a lot. My wife isn't going for it and I'm not going to get a paint job done that paints half the car to match the current paint. It's just not nice enough. So I'm in a pickle where I either take the money and do what I can to straighten the trunk and leave the cracked and chipped paint and bent up parts or I shell out a bunch of money for a new paint job that will put me in the dog house forever. I remember when life was so simple before this car. Sure wish I could go back to that sometimes.
