Got my head back and no soap bubbles. I have to get set up and check spring force at .055'' before coil bind and my new springs are here. That was close.

Dumbo to the body shop today. Two months and counting to get it fixed.

Working on the engine to try some things on the dyno. The insurance company is starting to drag its feet a little and not be very responsive.

No surprise. Try dragging your feet with payment for a while, you'll get cancelled, but we can't get them to even be reasonable.

Which insurance company?

The sticking point is the removal and reinstall of engine and trans. The agent is working on the problem as I type.

Are they squawking because you pulled them before it went to the shop, or are you trying to get them to pay you for the R&R?

R and R

That's a tough one. You have to PROVE it was needed at the shop without engine/trans for the repair to be done. Talk to the shop, creativity is your best friend.
