hahaha great post pat

 

jerk!

haha but unfortunately apparently it is given it was a pretty high curb tho lol

i really hope it doesnt. hopefully it wont be too much if it does tho. True about the paint, but i think anything is better than the shape that its in now. Although a few months ago i got a quote from one of the best body shops in S. TX for around 4k for a factory quality paintjob and 5k for a show quality one and both would include taking all the body panels down to bare metal and disassembling almost the whole truck. wish i could afford that ha

 

That sucks man, i know how it feels, the insurance company moves so slow, it took me 4 weeks to get my check

 

Thats why trucks need lifted!

That does suck though, hopefully things will come through for you and you can get that,c and maybe more fixed

 

My truck got completely re-painted for 600$ job is flawless, 10X better than factory paint, no bubbles, no nothing.

 

yeah there's people around here who charge about $1000 for a whole repaint, i've seen their work and it's good no orange peel no overspray nothing just a good paint job

 

was it done by one of your local shops or a well known place? the body shop by me is, well from what i seen very professional. but there paint cannot adhere for sh**.. my bumper got nuttin but chips, and i noticed the paint job that is not even 2 months old is alreadys chipping.

 

got an appointment with the appraiser tomorrow at noon.

guess ill see how it goes

 

(jaws theme song starts playing)

 

hahahah i know

but on a more positive note i totally just remembered that i have an extra passenger fender in my attic. yay

hopefully the adjuster will atleast think that i need a new fender.

 

Tell the females if you cant fit in the door to keep walking. No FAT chicks allowed. If they ask whats wrong with the door tell em its a waist measurement tool.

 

A lot will depend on the condition of the paint on the rest of your truck. If it has spent all of the time outside and gotten faded in the sun then you can argue that the paint has to match the rest of the truck when it's done. I won that battle on an old Buick I had that had experienced the rath of a hail storm. They just wanted to paint the top flat surfaces but I took my stand and got the entire car repainted.

Good luck. I would think your brother-in-law ought to at least cough up your deductable.

 

updates?

 

eh insurance guy was a ****. i pointed out many obvious things that were wrong and he just waved them off.

whatever.

got 193 from ins and 500 from my deductible. and my body guy said he needed 650 to fix the door and fender so hes cool with it.

gonna be getting a couple extra things done
not giving away everything yet.

but how do yall think my whole mirror would look smoothed and painted?
he said he'd spray them for free if i sanded em.

 

shaved fenders?

i think you can pull off the full painted mirror look since you have a black truck, but sometimes they look overwhelming on other colors
