Well, the insurance appraiser was by, all he did was snap a few photos, take down some info, and tell me to get an estimate for the repairs to fax to him. So I have the manager from one of the body shops we deal with coming by in a few hours, and then I have to decide what to do as far as the mechanical & electrical.
I asked the appraiser if I would be allowed to do the repair myself, and he said that would fine too ... would just have to fax him an estimate. So, maybe I can discuss it with some of you guys on Saturday, and decide on a course of action.
Alex, I don't mind the stock 67 wheels, I added the trim rings on Saturday to dress them up a bit. Not really a fan of wide whitewalls, but they look OK on this car I think. I have a few different vintage looking wheels in mind, I may do something with that next year. Looking at the car on the weekend before the flame-up, I was going to be content with rolling it as-is for the summer.
cheers
