SkipB,
I am very familiar with what it takes to fix a custom fiberglass car and or boat when an accident occurs. However unluss there is much more to these accidents than what I see in the pictures, than these repair prices just seem high.
The blue car only lost part of a fender flare and some cracks, the shape is still there to work with and the cracks are very easy to fix. Heck all you have to do is some grinding, put a few mills of cloth on and build the shape up from the backside. My concern is the insurance pricing, and what insurers may be scared off when a 16K repair turns into 31K and an 8-10K repair turns into 22K.
Most of these cars, just like Vettes and hotrods or boats turn out to be just as good as new or even better due to the attention to detail of most good repair shops. If the main frame rails weren't bent then really no harm ever occurs, just cosmetic damage. The nice thing about glass is that you can mold and match it to anything you want fairly cheap.
