My 300 rebuild story

Bought this car last May for the wifey to tot around our daughter in since our SUV was underpowered and falling apart. We only had it 3 months when she was T-boned at a light by some bitch texting...she ran a red light. So it ended up turning into a 6 month, 3 horsemen shy of an apocolyptic abortion dealing with the insurance company. Mainly due to the girl's coverage was only 20k and my car's damage, with rental car fees and monthly payments where more then that. We finally settled and I think we did good so off to a body it went. These are pics that are up to date. Car should be finished next week or early following.

The day off the accident....approx 3 hrs before.

@the body shop. I bought an entire new rear suspension cradle as I knew it was tweaked and all sorts of stuff was broken. The chassis surprisingly is straight. I also bought a new Flowmaster exhaust system since the stock one ws bent...gave me a reason to!

Few more. Basically its back together getting the finishing touches before it gets painted on Wednesday. The new flowmaster exhaust is installed, the new suspension cradle installed, the new quarter panel is getting cleaned up.

I wish it was a srt8...its just a srt design. Still comes with the 5.7L 390hp engine though that is nothing to look over. Anyway....and done! Sort of....the alighnment shop had a little mishap and damaged the front bumper. Plus, the body shop needs to put on the rear wing.
