That got me interested in your build so I have spent much time over the last 3 weeks reading about the journey with your truck. While it has had its ups and downs it has given us all a window into your life and your build, it has also put into perspective what it takes to truly build a show quality truck. I am just beginning my build and you have made me back up and really think this build through. I do not have the resources that you have at my disposal. I have most of the tools at home and most of the skills but for sure time money and resources will drag my build out even longer than yours. So I am reevaluating my options, thanks for the window into your build and the insight into planning a realistic build for myself. I pass through north GA every other week heading back to work in Lexington KY and would love to drop by and see your work in person. I am really enjoying this web site and will try to make the next event to meet some of the members, keep up the great work and maybe we will meet soon.

Thanks Jimmy, just give me a heads up before you head this way. I'm usually home during the weekends. Hope your not let down when you see it in person. Our next get together is in my signature. Thanks again for the kind words and good luck in your build and welcome aboard.

Thanks, I'm trying to hold it together. I'm on the home stretch.

I contacted several insurance companies and have decided to go thru AAA. To me it's the best deal for me. To cover 60K agreed price for a year is $431. I'm with progressive now and AAA can rewrite my daily drivers with progressive and I can save $240/yr.

I've said it before and I'll say it again... AWSOME !!!!!!:me tal:

Alan, have your tried USAA insurance? They are stickly for veterans and their families. I have them for all my auto and home insurance and I have had a great experience with them. They are also affiliated with Progressive.

Anyway, great looking truck. Can't wait to see it complete.

[57truckguy]

I HAVE Hagerty, seems good price and i've not hear any Pita about them..
By the way Alan, I must have missed something but I though that the tailgate was going to have Chevrolet in raised lettters... ??? just curious..

No I didn't, I checked with them a year ago and they weren't the cheapest.

Hagerty was $710/yr

No, I wanted a slick TG.

I finally got it registered and the 1965 tag can be put on it.

I also got a quote for a full exhaust system with Flow master 2 chambers and 2 1/2" $475-500. I don't think so. i will keep shopping.

hey Alan, that's who my wife got mine through...she works in insurance, and when we lived in FL that was who they went through for antiques at her workplace...you could check direct with them or see if an agency nearby is affiliated....if you haven't settled on anything yet, it can't hurt to check

[57truckguy]

Seems awfully high for your vehicle... Mine is stored about 7 months a year, you know rain,snow,ice, salt, weather stripping not installed... LOL I've owned her for 15 years and never has she seen a drop of rain. and knowing the PO I know he never got her wet either.. Then she was stored in a garage for 20 some years before that.. Last titled date for her was in the early 60's..according to the PO. I've only got to sort out some small issues and she could be a DD.. NOT...

[VA72C10]

Doess the AAA price allow you to drive whenever you want or are there restrictions? I know Haggerty requires it to be mainly show use...if you got into a fender bender in a Home Depot parking lot you'd have a chance they'd deny the claim...

I forgot about Chubb. I've already paid AAA for a year. Thanks tho.

Are you referring to exhaust or insurance?

Can't be used as a daily driver. I'm allowed 6000 miles a year. That wasn't my choice. It goes from 1000/yr to 6000/yr. They said I can't drive it to work. I told her I need to drive it to work to finish it and it will stay there a week or two. She sent me a form that I fill out and fax to them stating it will be stored somewhere else for a couple weeks instead of my home.

The insurance nightmare is bugging me, but the truck is looking great.

It figures, I'm able to work on my hood some and the next day we get covered up. That's a good thing at least pay check wise.

I should be around Sunday afternoon. Hope your not disappointed when you see it in person.

Thanks to jonzcustoms I'm able to close my glove box now. Thanks, Jon!!!

[jonzcustomshop]

I got a set of horns, but have to remove the grill to mount them, or i could mount them down in the frame.

Also got the license plate and light n bolts mounted. I really like them.

[likaroc13]

i like the license plate lights...saw where you picked up that idea from Jesse...been thinking about getting a year of make plate for mine as well

[65Custom]

Those are the brightest plate lights I have ever seen. I like those they really light up the plate.

[198plus]

Alan here's my exhaust, think I'm just going to end mine with turn downs.

[Strodder]
