I'm not sure I understand that restriction. Most vintage, collector cars have been at least partly disassembled - if not completely disassembled - and reassembled over the years and I don't see collector car insurance car companies requiring the installation of fire suppression systems in them in case the mechanic or owner put something together sloppily that could result in a fire. What's the difference with kit car.

Reminds me when I called up American Collector's Insurance to add my ERA to it and the ding-a-ling lady on the phone quoted me a price far higher than my 66 BB Corvette and 67 GTX combined. I asked what the he!!. She replied that replacement parts are hard to find for kit cars and expensive. I said something along the lines of - Really, my Corvette series went out of production in 1967 and have you priced parts for them lately. The manufacture of my ERA is still in business and still producing cars. I did like Troy said - found another insurance company.
