Default Hit a deer today..

After all the work yesterday on restoring.. my luck just sucks!!!! Read about it here: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=314230

Now, Has anyone had experience with insurance claims?? I have to get 2 seperate estimates from body shops.. can someone suggest a couple good body shops in NJ?? And how hard would it be to convince the body shop/insurace company to repaint the whole vehicle?? I would much rather have it be totaly repainted, then try to blend it.. Any info would be great!! Thanks!!

-Mark

Wow everyone is hitting deer. Almost hit a dead one on the road myself this morning. I am the lucky one who didn't actually hit the animal, sorry for you and the other guy on here who did hit them.

I hit one and it destroyed my car. Hiway 17 has too many deers.
I hate those things. They don't belong in the city. There should be a law.
