:woot:

Got a call from Best of Show. The estimater called them and said he was instructed to "get the car fixed" and that they agree to the labor rate.

I will get an initial check for $21,000 and then BOS will turn in a suplemental at the end for the remaining actual charges. Since we are super honest on labor time there really shouldn't be an issue.

I had sent the adjuster a link to my images on fquick.com and she said "hmm, this car is pretty nice". She ended up putting the value of my car at $100,000 in thier system.

I win and Penny V1.2 will live again!

I should note that the people I dealt with at State Farm were some of the friendliest there could be. They never copped an attitude and they actually seemed empathetic. Maybe it was my charm, maybe my insurance story.. whatever.. lol

In honor of this occasion I give you a teaser shot that Mike Harrington shot of Penny. I helped a bit in this one by coming up with the welder idea and by triggering my flashes in the interior. Thanks to everyone for thier support and once work starts I will put a thread in the PROJECTS area. Look for the August Super Chevy :)

I kind of figured it would. I have been running a background pick in honor of her fallen status. Could your email or post up a full size shot of the above so I can use that one as a background?

I will have to see if it's ok... it was shot for Super Chevy but (believe it or not) it's not going to be used. I'm thinking of making it into a poster. Think that would be cool?

Once I know what shots they are gonna use I will post some of the other ones in high-res.. there are some kick ass shots.

That last picture pushed me over the edge. The color choice for my '69 project is now officially Prowler Orange :)

Only problem is, I was going to use Forgelines as well - now I'll have to come up with a different wheel. Can't Bogart the whole look from somebody else's car, you know - bad form!

Happy to hear things went well in insurance land. Maybe you should change the project name to Lucky Penny ...

I'm glad it's all going to work.

Not to make this into a State Farm ad, but I've had really good experiences with them on my claims too.

I can't wait to see V1.2

Since you now have time on your side, what about creating the custom front spoiler with the air vents. Now that would be the finishing touch! Your thoughts Steve...?

Was thinking it would make a good poster.. :)

I will see if I can post a higher res of it..


RP: yea, the spoiler deal would be good. I also need to force more air to my filter.
