Re: Insurance help/strategy needed please.... got tagged
***UPDATE***
When a man turns 50 it is recommended that you go for your annual "exam." Typically the gel is warm, the jokes are awkward, the procedure is quick and most importantly... PAINLESS. Well..... not so in this case. Too much to write, but both companies are bouncing back and forth with who is doing what, subrogating this or that and/or who's paperwork to go from. Frankly is sound like a a bunch of sh*t designed to confuse, wear you down and make you accept what ever they offer. I am a business owner and have a attorney on monthly retainer. I've been fortunate that I have not had any business issues this year so he "owes" me many hours. I'll probably just let him loose on this one. So I stopped by the shop today and took a look at #1388. It is kind of like watching your child being operated on; you have confidence in the doctors, but it still is your kid and makes you squirm. The shop will need it for 2 more weeks.

How true Jeff's quote is. I am happy (relieved actually) that my company Allstate called this morning and has agreed to use my shop and pay 100% of the repairs. After many conversations with many insurance people I finally got to the guy who could say "yes". As above, I spoke with him about process, my rights, specific repairs, the comparative quotes I had gotten. I had to gently demonstrate that I "knew my sh*t" and the conversation was very business like. I think what turned it for the Allstate claims guru was when I said that I was prepared for a "non resolution," pay the repairs myself and just "turn it over." I think the insurance companies just count on people not having knowledge or resources and are (unfortunately" placed in a situation to accept what ever the offer is. Thank for the advise guys... it REALLY helped. I am stopping by the shop at noon today for photos and progress check.

I visited the shop (MidCities Classics in Hurst Texas) and checked on the car.
According to the owner Jim, the frame pulled/straightened out perfectly and he showed me the process. The radiator, condenser and shroud are back in and the AC gets charged today. He was able to locate all new parts except the valence but said he has one on order and might have an NOS buried in the back of his shop. Jim says that I'll most likely get it back in a week. Guys.... I'm getting itchy. Patience is a such a PITA.

Good deal. Once you get it back, we need to have a DFW ZR-1 lunch meet.
