Collector car insurance

[Luva65wagon]

Hey Jerry, I usually lay out the carpet and then take a poker, like a toad stabber, to locate the hole edges, then a sharp knife into the hole and cut a perfect circle, using the hole as a guide. Helps to find screw holes as well. Larger holes, I try to leave that to precise measurements from key components, or if, like a shifter hole, you can get a rough location to start and then pull the carpet over and continue to trim away a little at a time until it is all the way down.

I just put new carpet in my Comet this weekend. All went well. One way I do holes is by using a soldering iron to actually melt through the carpet - such as the holes where the front seat tracks go through the floor, seat belt holes, etc. The heat sort of "cauterizes" the loops so they don't unravel.

Guys,

If we are going to talk carpet, let's start a new thread. This topic is for insurance.

Silverbird,

I have ANPAC insurance, and when added up I think the falcon costs me less than $10/month for full coverage. I don't do it so much for the full coverage (my car's only valued at about $3k right now, and I've got more than double that into it), but the cheap rates since I drive it so little. The only catch is you have to have another car on the same policy as a daily driver, and the collector car has to be in a secure garage space.

Thor,

I think this is common with them all. I guess you can't ride a bicycle to work and own a collector car, can you?

Sounds like they're all hitting about the same cost.

Hi Roger,

I think they are all about the same price, but I've heard ANPAC does not offer the best coverage, so I've been waiting until I get a new daily driver to compare/change companies.

When I put the falcon in storage a few years back for the winter during a move I checked into dropping the coverage, but they don't allow you to drop coverage on a car and then start it up again. Being it was less than 10 bucks a month I didn't bother.

You might ask your insurance agent. My regular carrier is State Farm. When I told them I was going to switch one of my cars to Haggerty, they informed me they do offer collector car insurance. It ended up being about $70 a year.
