I also can't remember if you need to show proof of insurance to get it. And I doubt anything will happen to it in the garage, but you never know. I'll have to call up my insurance agent to ask them about rates for storing a vehicle.
Check with your state's DMV ... in California, you can have a "non-working car" registration that is much cheaper while you build the car. But, you can't drive it on a public road during that time (you can put it on a trailer and take it to private property and drive it there for tests!).
