So I was having brake trouble on my 48 P15. I posted a thread on here and got a bunch of great suggestions but for whatever reason, I still could not get the brakes right. I finally decided to take it to a mechanic who knows old cars and had AAA tow it there.... Well on the way, the chain broke on the flat bed and the p15 crashed into the wall between the cab and the bed on the tow truck. It smashed the emblem, broke the bumper guards off and bent the bumper, bent the hood in, dented the grill and might have damaged the frame... Well the tow truck guy wants a local body shop he is familiar with to fix it who estimated the damage at 2k and I had a guy who specializes in old cars who happened to be next door to the mechanic shop and he estimated 6k. They both can't be right, right? A new grill, a new hood, new bumper(possibly), how much would that run? I want it done right but is 6k absurd? Can an ordinary body shop fix an old car?
