Anyone know of a good way to ship a hood safely and at a far price? NY to Chicago area.......
Anyone picking up anything on the East coast?
Thanks
GOOD LUCK! ;D
Years ago, I contacted several freight carriers asking why are we being charged exorbitant fees to transport fiberglass hoods? The unanimous response was something along the lines of: We know we're going to fucklle them up, so we charge more! My response: Hmm, so let me see if I got that right, your saying that your company is going to provide unacceptable service, so you charge a premium for it? ???
Between the costs of shipping, and the damage rate, we just gave up on the idea of shipping fiberglass hoods! :)

Let me look through my emails when I get home but I had a hood for my 69 shipped from Michigan to Pennsylvania earlier this year. I think the company was Forward Freight but I'll double check. The seller had use them at various times before with good results. He also did a great job building a crate for it. 2 x 4s on the sides and 1/2 inch plywood top and bottom. 1/4" foam padding top and bottom. Charged me $300 and arrived in perfect condition. Had it delivered to my work address where there's a loading dock so that helped with costs also. Here's a pic of it opened and the layer of construction foam peeled back. I'll try and get a better pic of the crate tonight.
(no I don't store it like that, pic rotated when I posted)
