A horses head in the agents bed might also give him inspiration to settle the "right" way

( I had to do Post 900 on this thread just for posterity's sake)

That's funny! I don't even that many posts total!

Hey Bobby, I sent an email with more history of the truck, receipts & comparisons. They decided to send the info out for a second evaluation of the value. I should hear something Monday so I'll know whether I'll need the attorney or not.

Any new news on your 37?

[bluestang67]

Randy that's some better news anyway .


If these pics help here is the poor 37 at the sheet metal house waiting its turn still . May bring some help to your plight .

Ok been working on the Mustang a while and its time to refit all the bolt on stuff . 10 years ago I purchased a after market rear valance that fits like S$#T . When I put on the 1/4's I used a Nordian bumper to fit them and square to it .

I was lucking to have horded a couple old rear valances and pulled them out , I used the one with minor damage , easy fix and its fits 100% better . I got lucky and am really glad I didn't pitch these . Don't know yet where I have the one that came off yet though .

You will see the original front one laying there . I cut out a piece thinking I would replace but glad I kept it . I will patch it and re install .

Mine was close, work in progress as I drove it, I`ve got a hold of an ( expert putor person) he said he could get the pics out if its at all poss. we`ll see what happens in the next week or so.

One time I did a puter recovery and lost the pics . I was fumbling through things and wam I found them . Well needless to say it has only happened once for me .

Rich - If you didn't have a complete 'puter crash and total out the hard drive, they are there. You probably weren't looking where you saved them - my wife does that regularly which usually costs me about an hour to find. Amazing where they end up - and on any one of three hard drives or 5-6 flash drives.

Now, even with a totaled hard drive, for $$$$(many) there are companies that will do a recovery of files - it just depends on how bad you want those files.

Hey Fellas,
Good news on my truck.....the insurance co. did a second evaluation and decided it was definitely worth repairing, thus no "salvage" title!
They are preparing to cut me a check so I can get on with the repairs. I picked up the left side i-beam/spindle at the salvage yard today. Will swap it out tomorrow so I can be mobile again while gathering parts and getting bids on paint work. Persistance has paid off! Yay!!!

That is GREAT NEWS! I hope the repairs are easy to do and quick so you can get back on the hot rod!

Some great news Randy no way that truck should have gotten totaled .


Well welded in the system off the 65 Mustang (flowmaster) today not much to retro fit it . I still need to raise the exit pipes and lengthen them about 3 to 4 inches . Something making headway

Amazing how insurance companies can reevaluate a settlement when pushed. Congratulations, Randy. Of course we want photos of the in-progress repairs
