My 1948 Deluxe was in a garage fire. Is it worth saving?

Two weeks ago a fire spread to my garage and home. The 22nd series is not a total loss but I wonder if it is worth the time and money to fix it? The nitro paint is horrible, at least the ignition wires are roastedand there is no way I would trust the tires or battery. Also, all the window glass is cracked. The interior seems untouched. I had not yet put the rebuilt radio in it. I just put in a new clutch assy, rear shocks, throw out bearing boot and retainer. Next on the list was to have nos outer rockers, and one inner one, welded in. Rebuilt the carb, wiper motor, fuel pump and fuel sending unit in the past 9 months also.

The car was insured for $13k. I love the car but I am also considering buying another and parting this one out. Ugh.
