    Heard from the Body Shop today. Things are moving along, they have most all the parts needed.

    Looks like the Craft Square mirrors are going away. The drivers side one is done gone and got beat up real good. Getting some new old ones out of Japan would be rather expensive.

    Found out today that the wheels are damaged beyond repair. They didn't look messed up that bad but once they went to Wheel Medic he said...nope, they are scrap.

    The parking brake was on, the car was NOT in gear. It was moved about 20 feet from it's pre-hit parking spot.

    I was told it was a big ole dodge truck...there were witnesses that didn't hang out as they were tipsy.

    The frame, so to speak, has been checked. No twisting.

    There is room in the estimate for a 4 wheel alignment and the possibility of bearings.

    Are those wheels still available or are they unobtainium? New wheels would be nice. Rota RB's would look sweet. :D

    I figure a 4 wheel alignment is a must do. The bearing may have survived, but make sure it gets checked out well. :fingerscrossed:

    Not my job, I get calls with questions from the shop, I answer them. I'm not chasing parts, nor making any new mods. Just fixing what can be fixed, replacing that needs to be replaced.

    Nothing wrong with securing the correct wheels. You may end up with 2 Pep Boyz wheels & 2 of what you have. Keeping a close eye on things is not a bad idea. Justa my .02....
