Advice needed on how to handle the repairs. Car was damaged while it sat in storage due to building collapse. Having no body repair experience, can these dents be fixed, or is it better to just find replacement fenders? It seems that a normal shop would pound it out the best they could and slap some filler on there. Would a better option be to replace & paint? What's a good place to look for parts, I'll probably end up paying for it since the comprehensive policy I have states "will pay the cost to physically repair the auto or any of its parts up to the cash value of the auto" and "will pay the lesser of the cash value or cost to repair" which means I'll get nothing w/$500 deductable. What's the best way to insure a car in dead storage?Thanks in advance!
the damage looks pretty minor here - if the fenders are in otherwise good condition, I'd keep them and have them pounded out. As to your insurance, it'll vary by state, but around here, when dealing with a classic car you want an "agreed value" policy - you and the insurance company agree on a value *before* there is a claim, otherwise even with "full" coverage, they just pay low book, less the deductable. Good luck!
