    You probably need an appraisal as the car sits now to get adequate insurance... I assume you KNOW to purchase ONLY Agreed Value insurance for such a car? I need to get an appraisal for my 'unfinished project' also, as the insurance level has a lower limit without an appraisal...

    I had my wife insure it for $75K as it sits now. That's a little more than I have in it.....not counting ANY labor. But I figure if something happens during the build I'd be able to get some of the car back. I sent some pics and a spreadsheet showing my expenditures on it, and they accepted my valuation. Not sure who the insurance company is....my wife is an independent insurance agent.

    I would make sure it is covered when trailered. I have mine insured with Hagerty just Comp but when I trailer it I have to add trailering coverage. Less then $15.00 dollars for the month. Good luck its looking great.

    Got the Nomad over to Matt's shop today and discussed next steps. I still have to get the other door, both fenders, and the hood over there in the next trailer load on Monday. Then we're going to get started masking and painting next week. The dash is first, and that may be all we get done on Monday since the clear will have to cure before we can mask it off to shoot the rear of the car. I'm sure he's pondering how to tackle this job.

    He asked me how much sanding and polishing I wanted to do and said it can sometimes take 100-150 hours just to do that, depending on what level of finish the customer wants. And that determines how much clear is applied. He said sometimes he sands, buffs, and sands again until it's perfect. I told him I want to polish until it's "done".

    At least things are starting to happen.

    I got the rest of the parts that we're going to paint now over to Matt's today. We wet-sanded the dash one last time and masked off the entire rest of the car. The lower dash is now painted charcoal with gloss clear along with the glove box door and ashtray. The top of the dash will get a padded charcoal leather cover. I think I may do something "custom" with the aluminum inserts but not sure what yet.

    Tomorrow we're going to mask off the body to paint the rear of the car, tailgate, hinges and hinge covers. It's going to be quite a job masking and the paint is tri-coat so I'm not sure how much we'll get done. If we don't get that stuff painted, we'll paint it Wednesday and apply at least one coat of clear. We're both busy after that so the orange may not happen until next week.

    Why the hell do iPhone pics show up upside-down most of the time? They show up on my computer right-side up. Flipping them in the directory doesn't seem to work. I'll start taking pics with my camera instead.
