State Farm has authorized the body shop to spend up to $8,400 repairing our car. That includes replacing the radiator, not repairing the broken tab. They already have the hood and fender and will be ordering the rest of the parts as soon as they get it torn down (beginning of next week) to see what exactly is needed.
