Don't replace the whole panel.... there would be a TON of mud on your car if you did that. Just patch it. If you could, find a wrecked SVX that has that part okay. Get a 'nibbler' and cut the panel from the SVX, with as much 'extra' metal as you need. A bodyshop will cut out the damaged section, attach the new 'patch' with some pins, weld it in, then float it right so it looks good as new. It could be worse Mike. At least you don't have downtown parking in Madison.
Heh. G'luck!! - Rob |

AWWW!
I feel so bad! I am so sorry! Just seeing it makes a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach! I hope that you don't have to spend too much money getting it fixed.

First, Sorry to see that happen. It really sucks so soon after it was painted.
Second, When I had my Denali, I drove it for over 30,000 miles without hitting, bumping, or scraping anything. I also have a tight driveway to wedge between the SVX and the house. Third, Looking at the damage, I'd say you can just use regular old body repair panel patches. There are no distinct body lines, just a gentle curve. No need to hack up a parts car. If it was me, I'd straighten the metal. It would take a while, but it would yeild the best results. Doug

I had another estimate done today at Autohaus (VW/Audi/Porsche Dealer in Lancaster). It came out to about $1700. Both Autohaus, and the other bodyshop aggreed that the panel should be straightened and repaired. My insurance company wants me to take the car to the Faulkner chevy body shop for at least an estimate. I have an appointment for this to be done tomorrow. It's possible I wont have my car fixed until December as I start school at the beginning of June and will need the transportation.

Sorry to see that, Mike. This tear's for you, bud. It seems like that is a popular corner to get mangled.

Of course, they can barter with the shop and try to whittle down the price, just like I would if I were paying Or they can deny the claim, cancel you and let you sue them Doug

Wow that does suck. How hard did you have to hold your self back from killing your dad. Mine got hit in that spot too, I wanted blood to spill. Unfortunatlly my blood did spill. It got fixed very well and now it's very hard to tell it ever happend. It's a shame to happen to such a clean good looking car.
