You can't make this up

Find a shop that restores classic cars. Make sure they write the estimate high as there will likely be issues. Also don't take any check that says claim settled or paid in full in case it runs over the quote. Make sure you hit them up for a rental also. Don't give the shop the whole check up front save that when you are satisfied with the repairs and take it for a test drive also BEFORE paying the final bill in full.
