I am very glad that it is two seperate ins companies.

I often wondered why they didnt do this for cars.

Yes, you fixed my car,,,,,and sometimes with used, or reproduction parts.

But now my car has a damage history and is worth less.

Not my fault !!!

They made 400 horse and 435 ft lbs on the dyno with headers and 750 Holley Double Pumpers. With marine exhaust I figure the HP to be around 365~ 375 and TQ around 400~410.

Sprink I would like to see your build list.

I got screwed once when a kid ran all over my wifes suv with diminished value. I feel like, in this situation, that its really no worse than hittinh a log. The gel abbraision should buff out, the drives and steering and transome assemblies are what I am worried about.
