[VAC] Thanks for repair advice

["goldens510@xxxxxxxxxxxxx" <goldens510@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Just wanted to say thank you on the record to all the nice people who 
responded to my plea for help earlier today re my forklift-damaged '68 
Safari.  I got a lot of great advice, both on and off the list, and I'm
most 
grateful!

I've seen the damage now, it's actually about a six-inch puncture, 
streetside, below the forward window (not the front, so my  visions of a 
punctured water tank happily were only visions).  Doesn't seem to have 
hit anything structural or otherwise, but it'll sure be a big panel to 
replace.  There's a smallish dent inside that's visible if you take the 
cushions off the sofa.  

I'll let you all know what the resolution turns out to be.  For now, I am 
trying to stay calm, and repeating to myself, "it could have been worse."

Thanks again, 

Amanda
