[Shotimes] Hail damage

[alfitz@alfitz.com]

Try to get the insurance company to total it, although they will probably
total it anyway. But make sure you buy it back from them (It's called
retaining the salvage). If you fix the dents by filler, it will never last
and it will cost you the whole insurance check. As far as replacing the
damaged parts, I have everything you need to do the job, although it will
still be expensive. You may want to just sell the damaged SHO as it is and
pocket the insurance money.
