IML: Imperial & Polara damage

["Mark Evans" <mark.a.evans@xxxxxxxxx>]

Finally got the estimates for the repair of the Imperial and Polara that
were damaged in the move. The Imperial body work (alone, no parts) is right
at $4,800. The Polara's damage comes in at $3200 with no parts. Seems
they're having trouble locating parts. No duh. Those estimates are from a
local body guy that came highly recommended. Charlie at Thunder Road in
Round Rock Texas. I wonder if anyone on the list has heard of him?

Low and behold, I got the estimates back from the mover. Almost half of
Charlie's estimates! And that includes parts! They're thinking I'll be able
to pick up perfect wheel mouldings for a '63 Imperial for $62. Or, how about
a complete antenna assembly for the Polara for $91?

I'll be escalating this tomorrow. But, I'm still in shock in what they're
even offering. I'd be interested in getting some insight from others that
have had to go through this grief.
