DL,

I am so sorry to hear that. It must be disheartening.

There are many lucky Model A owners who are qualified to work on their own cars. It seems that you may be one of them. Get 3 quotes and take that to the insurance company to get a payout. If it is totaled you may be able to buy another car or have the cash to fix it yourself.

I run into Model A owners all the time who are not qualified to work on their own cars. I feel sorry for them as finding mechanics and body men (or women) is almost impossible.

Good luck in your effort to fix your car. Please let the forum know how you resolve the issue.
