Sorry was a long time ago I posted pictures, but it is fixed now.
Leiden is close, for someone a few thousand miles away
. It is actually going to Eindhoven (110 km south/east of Leiden). To be painted

I have been hauling my car for 9 years now, each corner of it has a tie down rated at 10,000 lbs. If normal driving, yours is probably enough, but if an accident or quick turn were to occur you might see over 5 times the weight of the car.

Hi Cas/cajos,
Hope the trip to the paint shop was uneventful and the tie-downs sufficed. We all want you to get stronger tie-downs for the safety considerations to yourself and anyone following but mostly, so the fresh paint lives a spectacular life on your classic car!
(I only learned your name from one of your responses on a previous post. I did not know when I used it as an acronym of a company!)
Can you get pictures during the paint process? We'd enjoy looking them over, if you can. Of course, when the car is ready for the trip home, show us pictures of new paint and new tie-downs. LOL.
Good Luck!

Sure will, my painter (good friend of my brother) has an apprentice who has to write a report for school. Now here comes the fun part. The Corvette is in the middle of enemy territory, it is at a Mercedes repair shop. When we delivered it there where only exclusive Mercedes models, no C or even E class. But this apprentice said his report is about Vette and not the Benz's. hahahahaha

I would have guessed United States and that would have been too weird. I've never heard of a corvette coming back to the US unless it belonged to a service member or a US citizen returning .
