I can't agree more. AR is a gorgeous color, and while gold wheels are not what I would think of as my first choice, they look delicious on that car!

The winner of the damage estimate pool was Stedge from Durham, NC. His guess of $14,700.00 was just under the State Farm estimate of $14,709.99.

Of course, as the pictures show, I did a lot of 'extras' to the repair that the insurance did not cover. As the saying goes, while you are in there, you might as well do all of the other things.

Many, many Thanks To Everybody for the kind words of support throught out this process and the generous props as the car is coming back together.

What a Great forum this is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome!
The "gutterless" lines look soooo good. Smooth, sleek... nice job making lemonade out of lemons.
You are a patient man.

George, your car is looking amazing. The gold wheels really make it. With all the freshening and upgrades, it's almost like a new car, but man it took a long time. Hope to see it when it's completed.

I was just by the shop, the leather dash is in, seats in, the inside is finished. He cleaned the seats and the non-carpeted parts of the doors and lower dash. I did not have my camera with me, but I will get some shots taken on Friday and post them. The inside is fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!

Robert will do a final outside polishing before the clear bra goes on.

I am sooooooooooo excited now. This car is better than new!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love the colors but then maybe I'm just a little biased. I like the interior upgrades too. Nice job!
