The Squirrel Insurance man.......

Ha haa, this made my day. Thank You Jeff !.... let me take a pic from my deck.

[Martinnfb]

Buy a trap, they said, it works....

[Jeff]

Looks like money well spent !

[Martinnfb]

I have to admit , I caught a sparrow to it. But you bas see the disrupted snow on the top of the fence. That's from squirrels .

[Jeff]

It could be worse..... you could be trying to get it with a golf ball.......

[Martinnfb]

I stopped by the shop this morning and the bumper was off the car so I took advantage of it and applied some personalizing touch to the grill. 

Before

After

[Jeff]

sssssssssssssooooooooooooooooooooo  did the insurance cover the blending?/ Did we shame them into it??

[Martinnfb]

Well, after seemingly endless stream of phone-calls, they said that they will pay for it if it is really needed after the hood is painted and everything in place. So  we shall see. It better be perfect paint match. 

[Jeff]

OF COURSE it will be needed..................... don't these egg heads get this???

[BlrwestSiR]

And if it doesn't match, don't be afraid to send it back to them to make it right. 

I did with our car. There was dust, fish eyes, non functioning turn signal, and a scratch in the paint when I got the car back. I took green painters tape and placed it everywhere I saw a flaw and made notes on the tape so they knew what it was they missed 

And they had to give me a rental while they redid the work.

Hey Martin, see if your insurance company will spring for this upgrade:

At the 120 mark, look behind the restoration car, looks like a silver Tahoe to the old 4 eyes...... don't forget I'm a Chevy guy and can spot one miles away....

[Martinnfb]

I agree, I noticed that right away . A random Beemer disappears from the streets of Austria and soon after we have a gorgeous custom popping out from Russia. Wonder what happened to the Tahoe

[Martinnfb]

Here is what came out of Escalade

 

the donor type

[Jeff]

THAT'S COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Martinnfb]

There is definitely a lots of talent in Russia, and since they don't have muscle cars they're utilizing what is around. Brilliant .

Like this old Pobeda, got overhauled  with the help of a E39 Beemer platform.

[Jeff]

Geez, NICE paint !
