I sent an email to the
insurance guy that Clint suggested just to see if he had any idea’s for
me in regards to insurance and my situation with my daughter being 22.
I go into the hospital
July 13 to have the 3 disc fusions I had done in March of 04 completely
redone. I was supposed to do a show in Lafayette, Indiana that has
approx. 450-500 cars, and don’t really think I will be in any condition
to make it for a 2 ½ hour ride and sitting at a show for 6-8 hours. I
have told my daughter, who is really responsible and goes after people when
they are too near the car more than I do that if she can get someone to go
along I would let her take and enter the car in the show. She goes to
Purdue University which is right there and I know she would really like to
flaunt the car to all the locals that she knows from school.
Thanks so much for your
feed back.
I just got my 70 Malibu
back from the show before Memorial Day. They had it for 3 months, I
thought I would never get it back, but it was well worth it. Good luck on
your next project. Send some pictures when it is done.
Best regards,
Chuck

Chuck it may be a problem. My concern when I bought my
Chevelle was the limited mileage most insurances offered.
Although….I’ve had mine in the shop for months and am having
withdrawal symptoms from not being able to drive it.(GRIN) I bought mine on
Ebay and…it had some things I wanted to correct or redo. My next major
problem will be the suspension and paint.
I’m glad she can drive it!!!

Dan I
will check them out. I have one problem and that is the reason I went
with my insurance company I have our house and other cars with. That is
that I want my daughter to be able to drive the car also. Most of the
collector’s insurance company’s state all drivers either have to be
26 years old or older or have more years driving experience than my daughter
has. She is 22 today, and that does not qualify with all the companies I
have checked with.

After checking several agencies, and finding out my normal
car insurance would not give me the coverage I want, I went with Grundy! Great
price and unlimited mileage! They were recommended to me by a car museum! So
far so good!!

That
is Lafayette, California. A small town east of San Francisco near Walnut
Creek. I had (and still have) my policy with the home and auto insurer so
I can drive the cars when and where I want to. The "policy" was
not a hard and fast one, just a tactic that they tried to use to end the
process quickly. They figured I'd take the cash out and be happy, but I
really wanted my car repaired!
My final resolution was to write a detailed letter to the local office, the
regional office, and the home office, as well as every media outlet I could
think of. They decided to fix the car the next week.

Hi Brad,
I looked
at your web sight, your cars and family. Both look very nice and you are
a lucky person.
I
noticed pictures of Lafayette. I am sure it isn’t, but is that
Indiana? My daughter attends Purdue University there. They are
having a large car show “Dancing in the Streets” July 30. I
won’t be able to go in that I will have only been out of the hospital about
two weeks from my second 3 disc fusion in the lower back, I may be making a
mistake, but I have told my daughter if I couldn’t make it she could take
the car and enter it herself.
I read
what you said about the insurance and that really makes me a little
nervous. I have the car insured with my home and auto insurance rather
than collectors insurance so my daughter can drive the car at times. It
is insured for a certain amount, but your comment about 60% vs. 80% concerns
me. I think I better contact my agent and speak to him prior to my
daughter taking it to any shows without me.

Dave,
Sorry to hear about this. I've been involved in a crash just like this
one. All I can say is to fully document everything starting now. I
was in my '66 Corvette when some guy in a pickup started, stopped, and then
started his left turn in front of me. At the time, he apologized and
appeared to take responsibility. By the next time I heard from my
insurance company, he decided I must have been speeding (he says at least 55) and
that is why I hit him.
The next complication was that my insurance company (they were the ones to work
with since there was a question of fault) decided that my car was an "old
Chevy" and that the "junk" percentage would be 60% of assessed
value instead of the 80% that they use for new cars.
This turned into a long, long battle with both my insurance company and the
other one as all I wanted was to have my car repaired. Having full
documentation of the car and every conversation really helped keep things
clear. Good luck and let us know if you need any help or run into problems in
the next few months.

The
Beaumont Takes One
We went
for a nice little cruise Friday and when I was coming back into town a Mini Van
was stopped ready to make a left turn in front of me. For some reason she
decided to try to make it and I was too close and couldn't get it stopped in
time. Everyone is fine. I am thankful we were in the Beaumont and not our
little Honda. They do take a good hit. She was charged but now I have to get
the hot rod fixed. It doesn't look to bad in the pictures but it needs a bunch
of work now.
I am
now looking for some parts. Any help is appreciated.
