My Pantera Got Wrecked

ahudsonMember

Well, things happen. The shop who was determining a little gearbox leak called today with "bad news". The owner's father backed an F150 into my Pantera, left quarter just behind the door, in front of the wheel. The driver is insured through AIG.

Wow. 34 year old completely original paint.

I greatly prefer to just have the entire car repainted to the original quality. It has NO OTHER damage, but I don't feel the paint will ever match. Plus, the 'originality' value of virgin paint is now history.

Any insurance pros with input on how to get my car repainted with the least hassle?

Body shop pros want to chime in to help me choose the best course?

I have no photos yet. Says they're emailing to me. Just starting this somewhat miserable process, which WILL work out in the end. And today actually IS my birthday.

Thanks in advance.
