on a molecular level, that sheetmetal is most probably destroyed. If you will be able to get things straight again, the parts that went through this heat will keep on biting you with rust and cracks........think twice before dumping loads of money into the car.

I believe the structure is usable, but haven't really gotten a 100% yes about that.
As for the sheet metal very likely no.
I've heard both of those before as well. I figured the exterior sheet metal is a complete loss. My hopes lie in the main body (frame/body tub/body-in-white). With it having been almost completely assembled I'm hoping that the body structure was somewhat insulated from the worst of the heat.
I'm hoping this because of other things I'm finding while digging through the remains of the garage. I also deal in parts and had many of them in my garage when the fire occurred. The stack was so big that I actually found a Dodge Ram headlamp (all plastic) that was in the middle of the pile, still in it's box and completely unscathed. That was a shocker.
From the get-go I've been conferring with high-end restoration shops to find out for sure but I won't be spending any money on the car unless a reputable shop gives me the green light and says it can be saved for sure.
Curious how much the insurance gave you for the loss . . . . . did you have an appraisal?
Here's the thing about that. Something I was unaware of was that even though the car was in my garage it was NOT covered under my home owners policy. Turns out, if you have a car in your garage, it still has to have it's own insurance. Since I was not finished with the car yet (engine & trans still out of the car), I didn't have coverage on it yet. Hence, to answer your initial question.....noting at all. However, everything else inside of the garage and inside the house IS covered so I will be making many sacrifices in order to use that money towards my car.
Did that car have a fiberglass hood? 
Good eye just from watching the video. Yes it did. I had a T/A hood on the car when the fire happened. All that was left of it was the fiberglass matting. The dual scooped hood was also in the garage and got pretty wasted but I threw it back on the car just to get it up off the ground.
A big thanks to everyone for all the warm welcomes, well wishes and good advise. It means a lot to me in my time of trouble. I think I will make a posting about this to continue the conversation. I'll put a link to it here as soon as I do.
