I am crossing my fingers that they don't total it.. But can get an accurate amount on the damage that was done. I am not to thrilled about having to replace all the wiring and stuff. So I am thinking about taking it to a shop and having them do the work... We will see....

Gotta figure out who would be best suited to do it for me..

Well if they total it out and you decide to part it out. I know where you can get a smoking deal on a Camaro.

Im not thinking your car will be totalled out. It looks like it will be expensive but not 1/2 the cars value in damage.

Nope still no idea what caused it, I am 100% positive it was the fuel system.. But the location and reason it did this is still unknown.. Once the adjuster comes out on Monday and looks at it. I will tear into it, and see what happened...

I hope the insurance company will still pay for the damages, The stock fuel system is no longer on the car, its all aftermarket. So hopefully they won't be dicks, and be like o well, should of had the stock system on there, We ain't paying a dime.....

Thats just it... I hope the adjuster gives me a fair price for all the parts I will have to buy... Cause I am sure there is more ruined than what meets the eye..

I hope so Ellis..
