Don't get too down yet, Robert. The shop can pull the frame and replace the quarter panel, no big deal. When they pull the frame, most of the trunk damage will pull right back into shape. You may have to fight with the insurance company to have it painted correctly, but they'll cave if you keep the pressure on. They have to pay to fix the car right and they know it. Of course they'll try to save every dime they can. Just don't give up. Rather than continuing to waste time arguing with you and your bodyman, they'll eventually write the check. They're not, however, going to pay to shoot the whole car, if that's what you're expecting. There is a certain amount of blending done on all collision repair. If your guy is as good as you say he is, you'll never see it.

Looking at the car and even taking into account the hidden damage, it isn't anywhere near totaled. It'll be back on the road in no time.
