You can put a heater element in between the leather cover and the foam cushion. That's what interior trim shops do. Don't need to replace the seat to get heated seats.Quote:

Got to about 1/16th of a tank on the fuel gage at 320 miles, totally filled up with 13.625 gallons, so I am pretty confident that the gage is set to be more accurate at lower levels, as if it is for a 15.5 gallon tank. Its all good for me. 23 mpg isnt that shabby either, especially with the car running richer because of the LT's, next weeks tuning should fix that up nicely. :)Quote:

Been quite busy with mine. I got it back Tuesday, put my overlays on the door badge, bird license plate, and center taillight overlays last night, and put in the Sylvania zevo LED bulbs I had, two for the blinkers, and one for the license plate light as I felt the one I had in it already stood out very much. A headlamp beam out the plate housing :lol:.
Pics later!
Worked this week on a new insurance policy with a collector car company. After working with two companies and quite a few phone calls and faxing paperwork, emailing pictures I should be switched early next week just in time for cold temps and on and off snow through out the week:brick:
We insure the Trans Am through Hagerty. Very impressed with their customer service, agreed upon value coverage, and overall cost. Plus, I enjoy their magazine that we get every other month or so.
What do you pay? Shoot me a text if you want. I'm curious.Quote:

So not much more than, or possibly even less than, regular insurance.
I just increased the agreed value of my Firebird, actually. my renewal is on the table. I tacked on Hagerty plus, which is an additional $60 per year and includes a free tow up to 60 miles and other perks. my premium for 12 months with no real limitations is $312.00. My normal auto policy can't touch it. The fella I talked with on the phone bs'd with me about cars, asking what all I'd done to it. I know he was feeling me out to figure out what all I'd modified, and after the rundown he said 'so we'll call it safety related upgrades, we'll say stock'. I really appreciate a person on the other end of the line who's on my side when it comes to stuff like that.
So do they value the car based on not only the value of the car based on year/model/mileage but also upgrades? What if you have a 10k car book value with 20k in upgrades....they'll insure it for 30k?
I started out with them and went with Grundy. Very close except the price. agreed value, price was $200 cheaperQuote:

Nice thing if the value goes up I can raise the limit just pay a little more. When I go to the track insurance is off as soon as I enter the staging lane and is back on when I hit the return road. I would guess if a standard company found out you were racing it you would probably be dropped.Quote:

How is either company with processing and paying out on an actual claim?
I don't have any answers there but they are used by a lot of people I know and everyone seems to like either of them with no complaints. very well known in the collector car market so if there were problems you would hear something in this day and age of the internet
What about salvage title cars? Any info if they insure those? I've thought about making the switch but I doubt they'll take salvage cars.
+1 on the Hagerty mag, Jeff !! By far my favorite magazine. I didn't even realize I could insure a ' non-historic ' car through them. I have my Laguna S3 insured through them so I'll have to check that out as well.Quote:
