 Just a quick update.  I've been traveling and hagerty has been taking their time.  I finally got a comment.

And it's kind of silly.  They want me to take it to the repair shop and have them tear it apart.  If the repairs are over 75% of the policy they'll total it - give me the full agreed upon value and pay the shop fees.

They gave me a goofy estimate - that guessed low by at least 100% ($4000) and said they can't figure out what it will cost until I start having the work done - that they can't just estimate. 

So now I finally am home and will start calling shops tomorrow.  I still can't see how a complete engine tear down, paint job, wiring harness, etc, etc could come to $4K. 

What a pain.
