    Well, if any of you have wondered where your parts are at, they are on their way!!

    (9) boxes, (6) rolls of tape, and a trip in the Suburban to get them to the post office. The (2) big boxes in the back are front drum brakes. Each box weighed 48 pounds. One of the medium Priority Mail flat rate boxes contained a manual steering gear box and pitman arm. I was testing the theory "If it fits...it ships!!" Weighed 20 pounds...and it fit...so it shipped!!

    I pulled up to the back loading dock, went inside and get a loading dolly to get them all inside.

    As I was leaving the pick-up driver was there, so he loaded them in his truck, now on their way to YOU. :D

    He wouldn't have one that hood lip molding would fit in, he has never had any hood lip molding shipped in a box.

    I always miss that "if it fits" by a small inch or two.

    I'll never forget this pic. I got my Comet hood lip molding ready to ship tonight and screwed it to a 45"x9" piece of wood. Wrapped it and filled the box with peanuts. If it gets damaged I'll be very unhappy with FexEx.

    I like that idea. A lot more secure that way.
