Body panels are fiberglass though, so maybe not as bad, but then again for something with such low production numbers it's gotta be expensive.G.Irish Wrote:Really expensive? Why, you know someone who's wadded one up? Can't be as expensive as the $16000 hydraulic pump for a 360's F1 tranny or the $40k for a 360 Challenge engine...Any serious shunt in a carbon fiber paneled car with that funky extruded aluminum frame or whatever means you're buying yourself a new shell. There arent any body shops that can or will pull that frame. I do know a guy who got rear ended pretty badly in his and was going through a whole debacle because no one would fix it but the ins company wouldnt total it, Ill check back up with him to see what the result is
But hey, if you're buying something exotic (or semi-exotic) it's the risk you take.
