Chris....thanks for your tip. After reading your post I realized that State Farm has my house and my boat. I called them yesterday and today I gave them a check for $94 for six months with full coverage and $100 dedectible and no restrictions. I was very clear that this was a replica and put the value of $50.000 on the car. They took some photo's and gave me the proof of insurance cards and away I drove.
Thanks again to all of you for your recommendations. I did contact most by going on line for a quote. The range was from $200 to $1100 for a year. I was quite surprised to learn that one company offered insurance on any replica under construction. This is one of the most asked questions on ffcobra web site and, I think, this must be one of the only companies that actual do offer insurance for the builder during the actual build process.
Anyway...I know have new plates, registration and insurance. It's nice to have friends in "high places". Cruise on dudes.
