Default And it's FINISHED!!! :)

A big thanks to all the people at Bill Heard Chevrolet in Sugarland Texas. Great job! It looks as good as new and drives even better. I was the biggest doubter around. If you need body work done on your C5, I can't recommend them enough!

For earlier versions of the car and where it came from, check out -

Thanks to Bruce, Art and Darryl at Bill Heard Chevrolet.
Rick out.

About 15 large...

Again, the end result is remarkable, I truly can't tell a difference in the way it sounds or drives.

Rick,

Wow, that's nutz. What was the accident that it was in? I'm assuming you had an insurance claim there?

I got conked in downtown Houston when a lady in a 97 Ford Aspire ran a red light and wacked my front passanger side, bent the front frame members.

Just glad, here in Texas, that it wasn't a big ole Suburban running that light.

Rick out.

So I assume you have hired a lawyer to sue the insurance company for "diminished value"?

E-mail me if you need any help - you should be able to get about $10,000 out of the insurance company.

Here's a link to explain what diminished value is - http://www.wreckcheck.net/
