[BDR561]

I'm surprised that the insurance company didn't "total" the car based on the $$ they paid out. Greg must have a stated value policy.

I would have taken the $$, purchased a new roller and then had a great track car in addition to my daily driver....

My second choice if registration was an issue (CA and smog exemption) and I had to rebuild would be a new BDR body.

Nothing saying he couldn't have bought a new roller, taken that body and put on his frame along with any of the needed suspension. The frame is what carries the VIN. The time to swap the components would be less that the repair and then he would have a 2nd car for future parts, a track car or just to sell cheap...
