[DML] Re: DeLorean Hood Needed

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This winter is really kicking us Southern owners hard, eh? (I'm the
fellow you lost a tree limb into the quarter panel during a Christmas
ice storm. Car was parked 25 feet from the tree -- limb cartwheeled
into it).

I made the same discovery so many others already have: Contact Josh
Haldeman (jhaldeman(at)fuse.net). Even if you get your original
repaired -- rumor has it Rob Grady's body man is coming to visit New
York -- Josh may be able to provide a substitute to keep the car in
service in the interim.

BTW: Who's insurance is paying for the damage?
