or there's sentimental value involved; I've come across that before too.

OP, good luck with the repair.

I don't see how you guys get 10K out of this. You CANNOT see the entire damage that's done or if it's face value etc. I do body work for myself. I weld and do fiberglass from scatch etc etc. Help the guy get parts and call it a day. I can tell you right now the paint job alone is going to be about $1500 by itself. But I don't see the entire estimate going above $5K to fix from what I see.

But yea, you may want to call booobooo. Ask him if he needs a new band aid too.
