JustOne,
After reading what you wrote back and John's reponse, I assume you realize the damage in question was more than just a quick fiberglass repair. As for what the insurance companies charge, I haven't found Cobra replica charges to be too outrageous. But, what you do want is adequate coverage in case something does happen. I would want my car repaired to "as new" condition and not just "fixed" as you might accept on a daily driver Toyota or something. One other factor to remember is that this is a custom made car too. You won't find much on them in the Mitchell manuals.
The other factor is the guys and the shop involved. They refuse to compromise on repairs. Autoworks International puts our incredible custom cars and their repairs are equally amazing. So, they are not cheap as I mentioned. They work as many hours as necessary to insure the car is perfect when it leaves their shop. I should know, as my car was custom painted by Miguel, their bodyshop manager. I can't tell you how many hours he spent sanding and priming, resanding and repriming my car before he started the actual paint job! I have been told by several people that my Backdraft has one of the best paint jobs on it of any Cobra anywhere. I am not sure about that, but the paint is amazing. I am a little bit particular as I work in the industry and represent quite a few companies that sell repair products (including fiberglass products) in the auto body business.
Check out the Autowork's website to see what they have done in the past and are currently working on right now. I think you will be impressed. State Farm must have been impressed too as they paid for the proper repairs.
