Diesel Pilot Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 This is my brother's 1970 z28, LT-1, 4 speed. It has been restored to factory original condition and is in near perfect condition. http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t256/creid325/IMG_0222.jpg?t=1243797678 http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t256/creid325/IMG_0221.jpg?t=1243797557 Last night it was rear-ended by a woman driving an early 90's chevy van. Here's the awesome part, she was driving without insurance and all she has to her name is the piece of crap van and 6 kids. Because she has the kids the police officer couldn't take her to jail. My brother told the cop that he wanted her van and she could walk wherever she needed to go. Here's pics of the damage. Luckily it's not terrible, but still. http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t256/creid325/IMG_0217.jpg?t=1243798058 http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t256/creid325/IMG_0218.jpg?t=1243798146 http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t256/creid325/IMG_0220.jpg?t=1243798179 Also, anyone know of a GOOD, classic car body shop around town. This isn't something that he feels should be done at the "insurance company funded collision places". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sucks society is this shitty, but sadly that is today's america. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Z-28 is one good look'n Z. Concerning body shops for classics, check out Clifford Autobody(he is on CR), if he is unable then Doersam's on Ferris Rd or Glassburn's in Westerville.

Mensan Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 My Porsche is at Achbach getting painted as we speak. I would recommend them but be warned you will pay a high price for the work they do. its totaled, i'll give him $100 for it. When I had my '69 Mustang there was some crackhead that was always trying to buy it from me. The engine caught fire one day and as soon as the fire dept. put it out he asks "Would you take $500 for it now?" I almost killed that guy.

zeitgeist57 Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Doersam's on Ferris Rd With all due respect, these guys redid the front end on my Vette after some loser in a RAV4 backed up into me in a parking garage. Terrible job...every edge around the license plate recess and parking light assemblies was burned through by a buffer. Do not go there.

Solo Vette Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Sucks. I used to use Achbach in Westerville, Glassburn's isn't bad. I also have a guy in Harrisburg, South of Grove City. Carr's Custom Finishes, he has done great work on my Camaro. He works on all kiinds of custom and classic cars. Let me know if you want his number.
