We've let the insurance company know that we are keeping the car. Oh, yeah the wife is thrilled.

If your wife is like mine, when I suffer, she suffers. with and for me. My guess is your wife loves you a great deal more than the car . But, she also knows how much it means to you. Be sure and give her first shotgun privileges when the Temptress gets back on the road.

That frame is salvageable (the point where it broke, I learned, is a common failure point in crashes), but it may be cheaper/easier to put a new one underneath - especially with that additional wrinkle in the arch.

When I was doing research for an accident repair, I learned that '64 to '67 frames will interchange. Chevy frames are shorter, but I believe that the Buick and Olds will work. I found a few Pontiac candidate frames, so they don't seem to be rare.

To do so - you'll need a good frame guy (who are fewer and farther between every day).

Are you doing all the work yourself, or paying someone to restore it?
