bluestripe, the frames are stripped, blasted, repainted and in the box ready to be shipped. at the last minute i started to think about what i'd do if ups lost them and what it'd cost to replace them. i'm having serious sticker shock right now. glad i asked though, i think i'll spring for the xtra insurance.

Keep in mind. Just because you insure something for $5000 doesnt mean they would pay you that much. If there is a claim the carriers insurance will do a market research and pay you the average.

With the implimentation of online tracking, packages hardy ever get lost even by the flakes at the post office IMHO.
I self insure and have never had a loss. The hassle of replacing rare parts is much more of a concern for me
and can't be insured against.

Yes, spent lots of time there in the 70's & 80's. Was even President of the MSCC back then as well. Still own a home there and visit a few times a year now. We called it "LA" back then too... 😀
You're about 8 hours from Pigeon Forge via Montgomery, Chattanooga and Knoxville. We meet friends from Pensacola there most years in March for the Corvette Expo. I made an appointment with Al Knoch a few years back to have the seats of my '63 covered there by his folks. They did a terrific job and I don't know anyone in my area (eastern NC) that could have done them as well.
Good luck... GUSTO
