Okay, responses for the rest of you...

Yup, considered buying a new roller. Talked to Reg about it and he even offered to buy my existing wreck for the parts and would sell me a brand new roller. I was loving the idea -- especially since it would give me some of the upgrades that have been put in the car since 293, like rattle-free doors and header flanges.

But, I had boatloads of extras (including and air conditioner/heater, custom heated seats, glove box and much more) and the cost of moving them from the wreck to the new roller plus the cost of the roller was more than what it's going to cost to fix the car.

The car is insured for $50K, so they wrote a check for $31.5K and I am to put out the $1K deductible.

As for the "sell the car" suggestion -- right! Good idea, I should have thought of that, I'm such an idiot. Oh well, guess I'm committed to getting it fixed and driving it now. When I get into my next accident, I reconsider the idea. As it has been over 25 years since my last accident, I don't expect to be facing that decision soon (heehee).

Well, I think I've heard all I'm going to hear about getting lower in the car and I appreciate the comments from those trying to help. Keep the rubber side down, folks,
