    Why not use the roof structure anything else salvageable. Then get a one piece floor pan and start building from there if the wheel wells and package tray are saveable you have the vin go for if and rebuild her sorry for the momentary loss. Hooefully you're doing alright.

    Billy, I'm sorry this happened to you. I'm really glad that you weren't severely injured. Front end completely crumpled and it looks like you bent the steering wheel and column with your body! No wonder you're sore. Take it easy and get well soon.

    Wow! I saw where another board member offered some advice of making your way through this. I'd definitely take him up on that. Clearly the other person's fault, be sure you get taken care of for not only your car, but what has been done to you physically. I'm not a big fan of how quickly people take things to court nowadays, but THIS is different. You need to be properly taken care of after someone else's mistake has put you through so much pain and suffering.

    WOW.  Sorry to hear you were involved in a crash with your mustang.  From the looks of the pictures it could have been much worse had the semi hit the drivers side door.  Best of luck to you

    Insurance companies love to drag there feet and offer low ball offers.  The longer they wait to pay the more $ they make!.

    Go up the chain of command Billy. If you're not happy with the adjuster, speak with their supervisor. If the supervisor doesn't get it settled, speak to the manager. In this field, the bosses all were once adjusters, who now don't want to deal with insured's or claimants. Complain till someone gets it settled.
