Yikes! I'm sorry to see that happen but thankfully it was not any worse.

The good thing is that the other driver had insurance, so their insurance company should work with you. IDK about Florida, but in many states the insurance company is required to let you choose what shop you want your car repaired at, assuming the quote is reasonable.

With that in mind, I would call some classic car shops and ask if they do bodywork. I would also see how much it would be for a trusted, if far away, shop to work on it, including shipping costs. You may want to have the shop write the shipping costs directly into the estimate.

I'm in PA but coincidentally just a few weeks ago a guy backed into the front passenger quarter panel on my daily driver so I'm a bit familiar with this process.

To me, it looks that HER liability insurance should be paying for the collision damage, and the towing company should be paying for the towing damage. As far as I can see, your insurance shouldn't actually need to pay for anything.
