help with insurance claim...worst day ever

[zingercustoms]

ok so, I have been working night and day on a project i have designed from end to end for the last 7 years to get it ready for the detroit autorama and i was doing great...worked through the night and was gonna leave at noon yesterday.....8am....car was being moved back into booth for some touch up of the stripes. we backed it up and stopped, put into drive and snuck forward and the brake pedal dropped to the floor, 500hp motor took me for a ride, so quck i couldn't get to park with the ratchet shifter....slammed into the recently finished waiting to be delivered $50k restoration tbird......here is a link to the car I built....and the wreck..here[/URL] everything was custom made on the nose...the headlights, everything...I have molds for the parts but the 100s of hours spent getting all the parts to fit and shine....just crazy, the fender is custom, the scoops are molded into it with grills and everything...the tbird was a high end paint job, my best work....can just blend the clear like a collision job on that car.....not one body break.....only the doors, hood, deck lid come off, all factory solid seams. plus this blue is sooo touchy with coverage and hue change under clear.....and all the hours spent hand sanding it.....
so my question....
anyone have experience in dealing with insurance on custom work? how to get them to understand the amount of time spent to do it? not just a collision type claim? any help would be great.
