I got this thing all ready to go and was wondering if it was good enough to ship? It is going by FedEx Freight if I can get it over there today. It is straped down with a ratching tie down and then plumbers tape on the engine bar and exhaust pipes. It seems pretty solid and firm to the pallet. What do you think?

Ok Scottie .... if you haven't given up already ..... If you can get it to my place I can ship it as it sits. Usually, I stretch wrap the pallet. There are plenty of transportation companies willing to take the freight. It would be Terminal to Terminal as they won't deliver to a residential address, so Eric would have to pick it up at a terminal.
Oh BTW .... The class is 50 ... scrap steel .... then add for insurance to cover the cost of the engine. Lemmeknow! |

To ship from CA to OH was going to be $195 class 70. If you can get it here for a similar $ figure I'm still in. Thoughts Scottie? |
