hey everybody i'm new here. i have a 97 gt coupe. Right now its getting painted metallic black. like a month ago some asshole tried to get money from my insurance so he slammed on his brakes and made me hit his crew cab dodge ram truck going like 25 mph then he told my insurance that he broke 3 ribs and there was 2 other people in the truck with concisions what a load of bs. I have full coverage on my car, well my stepdad is an estimator at a body shop and he put full coverage on it and after the crash they said that they took my car off full coverage from my car and that they "supposedly" sent me a letter saying that they did that. my stepdad is dealing with all that stuff and we got tired of waiting so we had the insurance come out and take some pics so they wouldn't try somethin else and i started fixing her with my own money. so i decided to fix every little defect on the body and paint it metallic black. the body got painted friday.
