[TPR] Follow up to SSCC, post-race, Ash Springs<br>
</font> </div>
<br>
Some of you may remember I spoke about this:<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.teampanteraracing.com/index.php?option=com_g2bridge&view=gallery&Itemid=57&g2_itemId=5586"
target="_blank">http://www.teampanteraracing.com/index.php?option=com_g2bridge&view=gallery&Itemid=57&g2_itemId=5586</a><br>
<br>
My Pantera was backed into at the Ash Springs Shell
station by a disabled woman in her 2011 Chevy Malibu.
(which by the way has a trunk line -higher- than the
top of a Pantera but that's no excuse). I immediately
called Hagarty and left all the details on their after
hours answering machine (what? no live people on a
Sunday afternoon?)<br>
<br>
I drove it the rest of the way to Las Vegas for the
SSCC banquet, one -not- to have been missed this 25th
Anniversary year. I then drove it the 1,100 miles
home back to Spokane, WA.<br>
<br>
When Hagarty called me back, they had already heard
from Gieco who said their client had admitted full
responsibility. I got some estimates.<br>
<br>
I had the alignment checked, it was fine.<br>
<br>
I took the decals off the damaged area and polished it
with Meguire's #4, #7 and then topped it off with some
wax. No cracks, no blemishes, just some ugly dents.<br>
<br>
I took it to a paintless dent removal guy last
Friday. The same guy worked on it last year to remove
some unsightly -small- dents and lots of door dings on
the passenger side. He said he could probably get
this fender back to about 98% of what it was. I said,
that'd be fine, I'm not starting a restoration. He
said if he couldn't get it to 98%, he'd call me and
we'd then take it to a real body shop (that I already
had an estimate from). That was last Friday.<br>
<br>
Sunday, I flew to Long Beach.<br>
Monday, I had dinner with Mad Dog and Dick Drenske.<br>
Tuesday, I hadn't heard from the dent guy.<br>
Wednesday, I hadn't heard from the dent guy... I'm
starting to worry.<br>
Today, I miss my dentist appointment because I'm so
busy at work I simply forget.<br>
I get a call from my dent guy.... the cat is done and
she looks gorgeous.<br>
<br>
Something about 40 year old Italian metal and a white
paint job that simply won't give up. He was elated it
came out so much better than he thought it would. The
attached photos are from the dent guy as he received
it, worked through it, and finished it.<br>
<br>
$500<br>
<br>
I pick her up tomorrow. I'm jazzed. :)<br>
Asa Jay<br>
