Mrs. APEowner has suggested that I fix things in slow motion rather than time lapse.

My wife says I do certain things faster than most.
(Well, she said I finish sooner anyways, I'm sure that's what she meant)

That was my first thaught but did not think it was the answer that should be "officially" considered.

Russian BMW fixing guy?
A lot of generalities here, but if there was a specialty agreed value policy in place, there should be no "waiting for the insurance companies to fight it out." Specialty companies act fast to get cars fixed. They'll pay and subrogate in the background later. Also, most companies will go a lot closer to 100% of agreed value than normal cars to repair if the owner desires to keep the VIN/tub for sentimental or other reasons. They know you can't just go to the dealer lot to find another one. Work with an independent agent that can be your advocate with the insurance company, and make sure that your valuation is good.
Remember when Jay Leno was in that accident where the driver flipped the famous "Hemi Under Glass" drag/wheelstand car? Well after the accident, they were standing around discussing the damage, and the driver said "time to look for another shell."
What I guess I'm saying is that while that one is a rare 428 Cobra Jet or whatever, surely there is a 6-cylinder base model somewhere in a junkyard in Arizona. It doesn't even need to be a whole body, just a shell from the firewall back.
Whether the end result ends up with the VIN from the valuable rare version or not is up to you. Maybe this is getting into a really grey area, but I KNOW it happens all the time with super valuable muscle cars.
