I am sure he is no longer your mechanic. It sounds like that will be a bigger claim than Small Claims. At least it would be in Florida. I hope you win your suit. I insure with Haggerty, I believe they have staff on hand to help with getting parts to fix your car.

Unless there's some skeletons on your closet, why wouldn't this be a valid claim to your insurance carrier? The insurance company could then likely go after the mechanic for the deductible or at least what they paid you. Do you have antique insurance on it?

I agree, I definitely would have involved my insurance carrier. In fact, you probably should have filed a police report since another car was involved. Unless you have "Srg Slaughter" insurance or something.. any legit company would have advised on a path forward, most likely paid and then went after the mechanic themselves. Been eight months but I'd get them involved and state you weren't sure of the process or something. A mechanic jockeying your car around a lot is a legit claim.

I was not driving the car on the road at the time, it was still currently being rebuilt and everytime I transported it somewhere it was being towed by my truck which covered the car in case of any issue. Im new to this type of excitement as I dont have as much life experience as most on this forum. but I am eager to learn. the mechanic was originally a guy my family new and I thought he would have done the right thing. turns out I was wrong. I am greatly appreciative of the responses on this forum and for the past 2 days I have been reading alot. I am kind of scared to talk more about the car as you guys are probably more of a purist for this car (along with my father) and I was wanting to build something that suited me more so I the car other than the outside and interior is not original. If I post pictures and show you what I have done you have to promise not be mad or tell me how much I messed it up. I honestly love this car and talking to people about it, not to mention I am fascinated by the history of the brand.

Hey, Dead, There's a modification Forum where you can start a blog on how you are improving your Packard, unabashedly, with no retaliation from purists. It's a place when you can reveal what ideas you have and get help in implementing them. You can see from the topics listed that most of the changes are about safety or performance improvements. Many members are interested in following your progress.
Don't be shy. I think plenty of members would promise not to cringe, but to cheer you on.
