| I have a rear fender for 54 coupe to ship cross country. Any
suggestions to shipping lines and how to pack it would be
appreciated. Was thinking of cutting down a bicycle box and shipping
Greyhound Bus. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks, Scott

If you want it to arrive alive and in one straight piece, build a small
plywood, 2X4 reinforced, box around it. Then it might not make it. Oh yea,
INSURE the snot out of it! South West Motor Transport does an excellent
job. Greyhound is ok, but the insurance is very limited, and depending on
which zones your shipping to gets worse. Your looking at about $200 to $300
max. If it's a really nice right rear, certainly worth a lot more then
this.

I just received a driver's door that was shipped from California to
Pennsylvania by Greyhound,
wrapped in cardboard and plastic. It made the trip undamaged for less
than $ 75.00.
It went from Fresno to LA to Las Vegas, to Denver, to St. Louis, to
Pittsburgh.

I just fedexed a pair of 50-2 rear quarters on Thurs. from TX- CT for $130.
The crate weighed more than the merchandise, but they are virtually
irreplacable, and needed to get there safely.
On Fri., I sent the wife to the Post off with 4 small boxes, and she broke
her hip in the parking lot
on the way in:-(. I hope she get out of the hospital tomorrow.

Likewise from me. A broken hip is a serious injury.
