My '77 got totalled 9 months ago--exactly 5 days after spending $3800 to have the entire suspension and rear end rebuilt. I have owned this car for 14 years so I of course decided to save it. Thanks to the excellent treatment I received from the insurance company, I was able to restore her. And make her better. Just waiting on Hardcore Customs in Nashville, TN to finish the paint. Man it's been a looooong 9 months off the road!
Here's the before and (hopefully!) my photo-edit of what it'll look like from the paint shop.
That's bad news about the wreck. I hope it turns out the way you want in the end. 14 years with your car and you never gave up on it, that's great! I'm 18 years in myself!
