I have what I feel is a serious and legitimate question. We've all read and heard about your unfortunate accident with the semi. You yourself posted how the truck, trailer and racecar were a total loss. Endless posts ensued about securing a lawyer, getting whats coming to you etc. It sucks, we are all sorry, glad you survived etc. With this in mind, my question is this: How do you "cosmetically restore" a car that was totalled/destroyed/rendered un-raceable? Do you re-letter HATARI on the destroyed car? I'm a hotrod guy and in our circles, unrestored HISTORIC cars bring the most money. Was it or was it not totalled? None of this is any of my business and I don't care one way or another. But since you asked for public input, these are questions that come about when attempting to give you the asked for meaningful input. Help me out on this so I can give you a proper dollar figure on my intelligent speculation. Johnny Shot (aka John Schiess)
