[Shotimes] Re: Hail damage

I'm sure you'll hear from Don M.  His Gen III went through the same thing, and looks amazing after the repair!  A few of us were scrutinizing it at the convention and found only 2 spots that weren't "perfect".

Biggest hail I've ever seen was pea-sized!

Subject: [Shotimes] Hail damage

This is my first post on the list but I have been a quiet observer for a 
long time.

Some of you will remember my white 90 from this years convention, it won 
gold in the gen 1 modified class and got many positive feedbacks on it.

On tuesday a large storm passed by or cabin and unfortunatly since we have 

no garage I could only watch the damage take place.  Every single panal
has 
been dented by golfball sized hail,  the trunk/hood/roof are the worst.    
  
Even the window moldings are dented and need to be replaced.  I have been 
talking to my insurance company and got my car appraised today.  He said 
that the damage was about 6300 cdn (guessing on repair time and parts from 

ford), and that this was going to be really close to the value of my car.  

He is currently doing research on it trying to find what the value would
be. 
  I might have acces to a hood and trunklid from a parts 89 and that
should 
bring the cost down somewhat. Does anybody have anysuggestions on how I
can 
deal with the possiblity of it being totaled and dealing with the
insurance.

part two, this may be a little early to start asking this question, but
what 
is the best way to get the panals fixed.  One of the local SVTOA-alberta 
guys owns a PDR shop and has been doing this for over ten years.  He said
he 
should be able to fix it.  But what about getting it
filled/sanded/painted?

He also told me that the window trim has been discontinued....are there
any 
sources

Thanks
