I tryed to deal with the insurance company theirs i dont want to claim it on mine. He came out and looked at it and said the rear panel did not need to be replaced. I informed him that if i put bondo any amount around the filler neck that right their flexs from taking the gas cap on and off and from pressure and bondo would crack with time and it had a sharp bend through the middle of it. He pretty much told me no, then he went on to tell me he doesnt deal with classic car cases. I took it to 2 of his shops that do work and they both told me they cant do it because they cant quote it due to age and that the rear panel should be replaced. Then took it to a resto shop and got a quote for around 2k, sent that to him and he told me no again. He came out and looked at the car again and did not change his est said he has no idea of the cost. Told him i will have this shop do the work, he said fine and to make sure he came out to look at it before the work was done. Then said to pay for the bill and then i will be payed back if they feel the work done was need. So pretty much i had to front the 2k bill and not know if i will get payed back for sure. I spent over a month trying to figure it out and still no outcome. So i pretty much said forget it. I will be sending a nice letter to his boss, informing him im a full time college student and did everything i could to get an est he would agree with but he failed on his part. Really who replaces the rear panel on their own money if its not need. The guy give me his bill for 800 and he quoted me for 120 for paint, this was spost to include, primer, sealer, base,clear,hardner everything to paint it and on top of that all the materials like sand paper, chemicals ect. I told him its more then that. I really pissed with the situation as this is money i didnt have extra.

price depends on how much i spend on paint, im planning on trying to get 6k, ill start him at 7.5 though then take off little by little ^^
