I say Rebuild...I also send my condolences.. as someone who recwently broke his Vet...Any thing I can spare is yours...I have a spare hood (the one piece on the front of my car that DIDN'T get damaged!) it's your if you need it..
THANK YOU!!!!!!
This is so kind of you.
Unfortunately for me, I dont own the Vette any longer. I guess it has gone where Vettes go when insurance companies keep them. But again, Thank you!

Don't know what you had in the car but $15k does not seem too bad considering you did not have a stated value policy, or an apparent appraisal. I would not be surprised if some companies would have offered $8K for the car. Best of luck on your next automotive venture.
