I returned from Christmas vacation to discover that Mother Nature is
not a DeLorean fan. Major ice storm struck southeast North Carolina
while I was out of town (most of Laurinburg now resembles Beruit,
except the stoplights are still working over there). Humongous limb
broke off one of my pines, then spun around into the DeLo. Could have
been worse -- bulk of it landed diagonally between the DeLo and 3
Lincolns. Damage was actually caused by the pointed end broken from
the trunk digging into my quarter panel like a pick ax.
Pics have been uploaded to #5939's photo album for the morbidly
curious (don't worry Dave -- I'll knock them down after this thread is
exhausted).
I will quote the insurance company NOS replacement prices. Should they
come back with a bogus settlement, however, I may simply repair with
used pieces (are you paying attention Josh or Ken?). Adjuster is
totally inundated, so it will be several weeks before I know for sure.
With hat in hand, I humbly ask the List to start checking their spares
now for a straight quarter panel (glass optional), perhaps antenna
vent, side vent, and mouldings should mine not survive transfer, and a
set of louvers. If you have as little success contacting people off
list via Yahoo truncated eMail addresses as I do, mine is:
brobertson(at)carolina.net.
Louvers are actually quite repairable if necessary. Engine cover was
cracked by PO, but the insurance company doesn't know that...
House across the street lost a limb straight down into its roof --
things could have been worse.
Lincolns survived without a scratch BTW. Blue Lincoln wasn't even
under its cover. Mother Nature is obviously a Ford fan.
