How to ship a hard top?

Post by ppeters914 »

So, after the results of my previous query, I decide to forgo a hardtop when I receive an email from someone who will give me theirs if I pay for shipping.

Anyone ever ship a hardtop? Greyhound maybe?

Thanks.
Pete

Pete: Greyhound is the way to go. Anyone up in your neck of the woods have a roll bar that they could part with? Good luck. Sam

If you decide to take a pass on the hardtop, I am interested! I want one, but have NO money..... :-(

Hard top

Post by toolsnob »

I have friends that have shipped a couple of hardtops via greyhound. Beware that they do scratch your paint. Save yourself the hassle and just run a nice soft top.

Sid: How about I trade you an excellent condition hardtop for a similarly described roll bar? Sam

Sounds good with one problem. I don't have any spare roll bars....
