that sucks Alex. Is it your tree or the neighbors tree? Homeowners might cover it if it is the neighbor's tree.

That REALLY SUCKS. It looks like a total, but I can feel for you when it's your baby and an act of God sends it to the scrap pile.

Wow, that sucks. Sorry to see that happen to anyone, especially to a vehicle you really care about. I hope there is an upside to this story in the future.

Wow, that sucks. Might as well save the drivetrain for another project since you know the history of it.

Really hard to see these pics Alex. Is the roof a really bad fix? Seems like a lot of it could be repaired without much trouble.

Saw the pics before on FB as well - made me sick to my stomach, cause I know a lot of blood, sweat, and tears were poured for this car.  Best of luck with the situation!
I also agree with Jeff - keep the drivetrain for another toy down the road. It's a damn good combo to swap into an S10 or G-body.

Had to.
On a side note, I'm sorry that happened bud, that is a sweet ride. You could always just hack off the damaged roof and make it a convertible.....

my sisters old 02 Camaro had a new roof welded on, i couldnt figure out why inside the Ttops was silver and the car was black, pulled the interior panels and saw the welding, turned out when i ran the carfax it was involved in a roll over! that then explained the oil in the air intake
