Oh no ... car-B-que

Ed,

Dang, really sorry to hear about this!

Wiring the engine compartment is fairly straight forward. Depending on what sort of auxillary junk and accessories are wired in, there should really be under 10 main wires to contend with.

I've had mixed experiences with Arno's personally (last was about 4 years ago). Remember, nobody cares more about your car than you do.

Hey Ed post a pic of the carnage, depending how severe it is you might be able to get it back on the road fast

Agreed! I may have Friday off if you need a hand, I love mad rushes! This thing will be crusin' Sunday! Depending on the extent of the damage I may be able to spare a few lengths of original wiring from my special parts stash

JB Weld that nipple back into the carb, and get her going! Let's see it at SpringFling.

Tell the Insurance adjuster there is an independant shop in town called "Boxer AutoGruppe", and they can fix it for beer!

I'd give it a go myself, knowing that there aren't a ton of wires involved. But since I'm not really familiar enough with the engine bay, I'd need a hand, or at least another car to look at as reference.





If I were to get it fixed up mechanically, I guess I could just roll it minus the engine lid, and clean up the rest as good as I can. Anyone have a rear window for a 67?


cheers

ugly but fixable, Pull the decklid and sand it down with a temporary flat black paint job.
rewire is the easy part

I had a couple minutes of hurry up and wait at work so I checked in ... sorry about the car-b-que. I'm blocked here (at work) from seeing pics from free sites like photobucket and imageshack. I hope it is as rebuildable as others are saying, and the insurance doesn't prove to be a hassle. Good luck.
