I ran across Rick from some friends that use hm to transport there Hot Rod 32 Fords back East, and I am glad I met him, YES I highly recommend him, P M me if anyone needs his phone number

That is exactly what my office mate said as I was walking out to meet the driver of the delivery truck. Christmas in November.

Works for me.

Now that you have it update your photo... No reason to keep seeing the C5.

Even though its the best color for that style. Also, I would move that 5.00 headboard away from the corvette. That's an accident ready to happen. Very cool corvette!

I agree ... done.

The bed (my daughter's latest project) will get moved when I get home this afternoon.

Wow, how nice.

I would spend all day in the garage (call in sick at work).

BTW, how are you guys shipping your cars upside down and sideways? Doesn't that incur additional risks and charges? I don't understand the advantages. Wait, maybe some of you live down under or had a car shipped from down under so it arrived that way?

Cheaper to do it that way.... less gravity so less weight... better mileage.
