I don't know, might as well respray the whole car.

Also, I could reduce the total cost by not replacing the steering rack (that's like $2k right there), not fixing up the interior, etc. while still having an end result of showroom condition on the outside. Maybe to like $10k-15k? Would need to ask the restoration shop.

I'll update the main post soon about what happened with the insurance company, it's a long story

What does the interior look like? I would absolutely hang on to that car. If you sold it one day and regretted it the next, you'd have a really tough time replicating what you have now. Also keep in mind you don't have to do it all at once.
