Reply With QuoteYea I've been surprised with all the help and leads you have got. Best of luck.
I have the info from DP and am gonna look into it. I also got pics and the plate from another car in the area that the UPS guy spotted.
With all the help I am getting, it's only a matter of time before he is found.
Wealth, power, and experience are apparently not enough to save us from social influences. Groupthink, as described by I.L.Janis, is the tendency for group members to reach a consensus opinion, even if that decision is downright stupid (Janis 1982).

OK, I got a better look at the car, and found out that the frame is toast. It is bent at the firewall.
Hopefully someone knows of a good deal on a shell or similar in the area?
I just need something to swap the parts on to.
Anyone know of any in the area?

Check on specmiata.com and with the racers down at MSR. Someone will have a tub somewhere.

Lightness? What's that? I drive a PRHT!
I've seen a few cars getting parted out on craigslist so there might be an undamaged shell in there somewhere, but wouldn't bet on it. Sorry to hear about the frame being toast.

Saw this on CL today and thought of your hit and run incident, although it is a gold Aurora, not a Malibu.

I let the wife look at it, and she said that isn't the one that hit her.
Thanks for keeping an eye out. I really appreciate it.

Yes, and no. I found one, with a title, and it ended up having some minor front end damage as well. It was in the front part of the frame, so fixable with little issues. I decided to just get a local shop to get the one that was hit "close enough" so I could still drive it. I'm planning on doing a full cage, seam weld, etc on the shell, but just need to find the time and money.
