For parts, from weather stripp>Insurance - can anyone recommend a decent insurance company that won't
There are several classic car insurance companies which have been around for decades, so not apt to disappear in the middle of the night. Here are just a few:
*Hagerty- one of the oldest Go to formatting linkand scan their home page, and I believe you will find links to more.
Several offer (read the fine print of course)-
- Agreed Value. You can put K into a restoration and somebody like Allstate will only pay you blue book. With agreed value, that's what they will pay if you car is totaled or stolen.
- Unlimited miles. No restrictions about having to be going to/from a car show, etc. There will be specifications like your car must be secured in a garage when not on the road kind of thing.
- 1. Agreed Value. You can put $20K into a restoration and somebody like Allstate will only pay you blue book. With agreed value, that's what they will pay if you car is totaled or stolen. 2. Unlimited miles. No restrictions about having to be going to/from a car show, etc. There will be specifications like your car must be secured in a garage when not on the road kind of thing. 3. $0 deductible on already low rates. 4. Inflation guard. the price of parts, etc, goes up, so it costs more to repair, or the value of the car increased with time due to such things as collector interest, you are covered. Your car gets stolen, it's gonna cost more to get a replacement, the replacement cost is what they pay. 5. Parts coverage up to $X (ie $500). Somebody steals the original emblems off the car, and if you can find originals, they will pay up to x dollars. Beyond that you have to pay the difference. deductible on already low rates.

First, clean as best you can all rust. Then immediately cover the area with one of several excellent commercial products you can find in most auto parts supply places. One good example is POR-15. Have to read and follow the instructions closely. Essentially, it will put a halt to further rust advance. Of course, if it's really bad, you know where that is headed. Either new floor panel if available, or cutting out the rot and welding in new metal, or finding a donor car from which you cut what you need and weld in.
