A couple new pics of my car

hell, let em fix it for 19k. fact of the matter is these auto body repair facilities go back to these insurance companies all the time to recoup what they call add on's. stuff not originally figured or seen in the original estimate. whats sucks is being the baby sitter and making sure all get done to your satisfaction.

I don't know Steve personally, but I feel I know "his attitude" and his skill level is FAR above most here. I can say he would NEVER be satisfied with "some body shop" and the hacking that likely went with it. He's been with these cars, MANY of them, for decades.

I sure wish you well on this project. Maybe it will be "better" in some ways, closer to what you want......
