I JUST totalled my 51 chevy truck

Big Olds was in primer for 4 years with Grundy and not once did they ever mention to me him being a "project" or that I had a timeline to paint him. They never once asked for an interior shot or a shot of the top or windows. As I progressed I just asked for the agreed value to be increased and they never said no. Once he was "completed" I sent them an email with the new interior and a shot with the top up plus I listed all the new stuff that brought the value up AND I increased the value again. That was in Dec I think. This past May, when my premiums were due, they increased my agreed value about 5% I think it was, stating that the value of MY car had increased. I didn't argue, I paid a couple dollars more for thousands of extra dollars in coverage.

Folks might be surprised on how inexpensive complete speciality insurance is compared to just normal, PL/PD on the same car. I just did a quick online quote with Grundy for a 1951 Chevy truck with a $25,000 agreed value.....$213.42 per year for 12 months of full coverage.

 

Wow looks like I need to hit Grundy up. I have specialty insurance on my Chevy and have used them for years even on other cars, but they wouldn't touch my Merc.
I'm sorry if I came off negative to you in any way that was not my intention. Keith is a really good friend of mine and seeing the other posts of people beating a dead horse kind of got to me.

P.S. Big Olds is beautiful. I have a soft spot for any Oldsmobile anyway..

 

Sorry to hear that, and yes seat belts are a must

 

i have liability insurance. the state required mininum. i will definetely look into specialty insurance though. it woulda been nice to have been paid to fix my truck..

 

i am going to try to set my cab back on the new frame this weekend.

 

Monzadootie......

Whereya been bro......?

Let see some pics,,,,,,,

late..

 

well, i got the cab mounted now. decided things were moving along rather smoothly so, i decided to do a 3" section...my camera is not here but, mcdaniel1234 was supposed to put some of my pics from last night on here....i guess he dropped the ball...

 

Seat belts just come to the top of my list ! Glad your both ok.

He dropped the ball ? Are you sure he had the ball ? May be he's playing with the ball ? Not sure it was his turn. LETS SEE SOME PICTURES <!-- / message --><!-- sig -->

Dont blast with a silica based product, its VERY bad for your health! Even with a respirator, you dont want to blow that stuff into the air. Go with a media thats approved for media blasting, and is silica free.

 

+1 There was a guy here in STL with more than 1.


Good luck with the rest build

 

I didnt see any seat belts JK........ Looks killer

No kidding. was there anything resembling a grand am after the impact.

 

The Grand Am is now his hood ornament.

 

Nice work. Great to see a speedy recovery and some new mods. I love the way those trucks look sectioned I did a 3.5" on one of my own I had a while back.
