Thank you all for the suggestions. I am going to take her to Top Flight Corvette and have her done there. My insurance company still has to get in contact with the azzwipe that hit me . But the Vette will be taken care of and hopefully done right. I will keep you all posted as well as pics when she's done.

Top flight is great.. Lawton of course doesnt do it there but he has connections with people that do great work...I just got my car smogged after Lawton tweaked my Q-jet to make my new Schneider roller cammed motor pass Emissions...

Great place.

Thats good to know that they will be a great shop. I hope to get her back soon but I don't want to rush it. I just hope the weather doesn't make me wish she was back here even more

Well that is good to know that he knows what he's doing when it comes to mechanicals because, when I was moving it from where it was hit there was a loud clicking coming from the rear differential. I hope it goes as smoothly as possible. Will

I know that they will get her fixed up right. If you all want I can get the name of their bodyshop when she gets towed there tomorrow morning.

Well the Vette progress is really slow. My insurance company seems to want to fight me tooth and nail to get the repairs done right and to my satisfaction. I have posted another thread here in C3 General.

I don't know what the laws are in your state, but here in California an insurance companies are required to restare a car to it's pre-accident condition if the owner want's it fixed, that way the ins. co. can't undercut owners.
A guy was telling me this and my truck was hit recently and sure enough I got a letter in the mail from the ins. co. stating this law
