A few years back I was driving my fully restored 96 Impala when the carbon fiber hood came up at about 60 MPH. The problem was I had everything under the sun powder coated. The latching system failed due to the over abundance of powder coating. Anyways, I had a collectors insurance on the car due to the appraisal value of 56K. An out of state adjuster telephoned and said he would be visiting me to appraise the damage. I was fortunate enough to have a good friend that worked at the local Chevrolet body shop. This friend agreed to be present when the adjuster arrived. Thank God my friend was there as the adjuster was trying every way but loose to cut corners. From "ONLY" pictures I had sent the adjuster he had an appraisal when arriving. He initially said I would have a check for $4000.00 within 72 hours. I then introduced him to my friend who went over the damage with him. About 2 hours later I agreed on $7,200.00 and Chevrolet doing all the work.
