Well, the assessor is still going to recommend it be totalled but he is going to increase the value based on modifications to give me a 'little' better settlement. He wants to make sure that I have a little ($) buffer to make sure I get all the repairs done.

I'm not gullible so I fully recognize that I'll potentially end up with out of pocket expenses ... but I need the VX back on the road. Since Merlin said that 3 of the major parts will be back ordered (at least a month) I need to get the settlement done.

I should hear something today & I'll keep Y'all posted.
