Vette(s): 1975 metallic blue coupe with t-tops,L48, t/t steering, black leather interior. 1990 L98, white/red leather interior, auto,a/c
as some of you may remember, my 90 was hit by an idiot who tried
passing me in a no passing zone. well after waiting for his insurance
to get off their butts and pay me, i brought the car to a body shop near
me.
he gave me a great deal but it meant that i would have to understand that it would take longer. well i went for the deal and to me it was well worth it. it was painted the friday before thanksgiving and we have been getting it back together again. should be done within a couple weeks.
the work and the paint job cannot be be beat. even the guy that owns the body shop loves the way it came out. he can really relate to my 90, as he owns an 89 convertible that looks exactly like mine, white and red interior.
here's the link to the pics

after he swore out three tickets against me that were dismissed they reduced his ticket from improper passing to careless driving. his insurance co took their time paying but finally did. hope like hell his insurance went sky high. still see him around here and still has the dent in his door. hope he learned not to mess with a vette
.
will be adding pics soon.

Hey Eddie,
Thanks for putting that together!
Too bad it had to happen in the first place, but it looks like it's going back together nicely.
You got that guy's address? We should send him a C3VR T-Shirt for X-Mas.....NOT!

Hey Dave, glad to hear it's all working out and you'll soon have that spare Vette back home!
Enjoy the holidays,
