Thanks all... heres some more pics.... Here's the whole gory sceen.... http://s10.photobucket.com/albums/a130/Dougs68Camaro/accident/I talked to a shop the deals in mostly "older" cars and has a very good reputation. The owner said to bring it on up and let him go over it with the adjuster so nothings missed  It will be kept inside too  Strong balls too...  |

Wow ther ewas a lot of damage there, any shots of the trailer? it looks like the mirror of the minivan ran down the side of your truck, then the front of the van must have nailed the corner of the trailer...
What peppered the front of the camaro? Was that from glass from the van or something or were you forced off the road?
Glad you said you were meeting with an adjuster because it would suck if the other guy didn't have insurance or some crap...

Doug, time to get a brand new pair of heads done because that mini van's impact cracked yours huh? I see it happen all the time, bring them over to have them checked, I can garantee they are cracked or will be and we can do up a brand new set of splayed sbc heads just like the last ones that were on there huh? Pretty sure the last ones had titanium valves and all. I got this about correct dont I Doug? Guido works in insurance dont he? Make a call and get him down here with a check right away  Rich |

Only trailer shot were cell phone and dark, trailers toast/scrap. He hit me, tore 1 axle and both tires off the drivers side, I went in a ditch, took out 30-40 feet of fence,hit a pole,tore other axle and both tires off, car hit the pole, and I came to a slow slide of a stop fishtailing the whole way.... boxers are trash too BTW |

The car doesn't look too bad. It sounds like the trailer and the boxers are trashed.

Sorry about your bad luck.  You may want to check out Rhodes Custom Auto or Pernell Body Shop. They both do awesome work, and both are good with older cars. Good luck with the repairs, DonB. |

Shameless Ram Race Supporter Plug!!!!! I love it! But really, if you want proof that Rhodes can fix a Camaro, just look what they did with Larry Rhodes car after last years incident! It looks great and it hit a concrete wall at speed! |

It safely resides in my car because I still don't have a frickin' motor.  But I believe Larry's could have suffered a bit in the accident. |
