[DML] Re: accident

["therealdmcvegas" <dmcvegas@xxxxxxx>]

Another owner here in Vegas had something simular to him happen. I'll 
let him go into details, and price costs if he wants to share those. 
But from what I saw on his car, the damage wasn't that bad at all, 
and never touched the underbody from what I remember. He removed the 
panel, and sent it over to our local body guy who has experience with 
DeLorean collision repair. The guy banged the dent out, and 
refinished the panel. After a new marker light was installed, I 
couldn't even tell that the quarter panel had ever been removed, let 
alone repaired.

Under body damage isn't as big a problem as you'd think. With the 
body panels "skinned" across the underbody, it like driving a giant 
truck bed that's been turned inside out. And if the underbody does 
happen to be damaged, I don't think that it's something that couldn't 
be repaired. Especially after seeing the repair done to Joseph 
Molino's car. If nothing else, remove the charcoal canister, and 
check inside the pontoon for damage. I'll put money down that you 
won't find a thing happened from this collision.
