Thats interesting to hear about pumping the pedal. My 67 Malibu has
started doing the same thing in the last year after it sits for a few
days. It takes about 15 pumps on the gas to get it started. I never
have any running or restarting issues after that. It starts right up with

Just remember that motor is a big air
pump. The more efficiently you can get the air throught the motor the more
power it will make. You do that by putting the best carb (not too big) you
can afford, a well designed cam (roller preferred), matched ports in your intake

That stuff is pretty thick, i think more than 1

Thanks John,
As I think about it, I think that sticking it to just about anything that
would make it stiffer (even cardboard) would make it stay in place. I'm
going to try backing it with something rather than having wires over the
exposed side.

Eduardo,
The only thing keeping you from qualifying for a collector policy is not
having a garage. I suggest you stick with your everyday insurance company
that has no restrictions and document the value of your car with lots of
photos (inside and out) and receipts for parts/services that you have.
I actually think it would be funny to have chicken wire. I should be able to
get some somewhere around here. Thanks for the offer though.
I actually have a second set now because one of the pieces from the first
set got damaged. I'm wondering if there is any advantage to stacking them so

Unfortunately classic car insurance and rates are designed around all the
factors that don't fit your driving needs. Your only choice may be a
regular auto policy and a appraised value that is written into the policy.
