    That ****s. Next time PM me. I ship cars out west all the time from Ohio. I can usually get them out there in 10-14 days enclosed for 1-2k depending on CA location and timing. I use P***port Fedex a lot, they are a really good company as is DeMoise Trk-ing . I also have some open carrier connections.

    Internet companies are scary! Too often it is sub-contracted down 3 or 4 levels. Keep on them-- make lots of calls, ask for driver's cell numbers, and keep checking in.

    That is all of course if BenD isn't heading your way!

    Good news, I got a call from the transport DRIVER and he'll be here tomorrow afternoon to pick it up. He's in Detroit today, Columbus, OH tomorrow morning and my driveway tomorrow. I'll post pix of it going on the truck; maybe we can do a nationwide spotting game. Anyone spotting it on the highway post where and when. That would be cool.

    I'm sure I'll miss the coupe, but at least it ended up going to Cali.

    I'm glad it finally showed up!!! And was I right about that truck driver?

    You'd better have a good digital camera so you can update us as you go like I did.

    And I'm sure Cody from Adam's Hot Rod Rubber would like a new burnout video too.

    Pastels man. That's the future of rodding for decades to come. Those sweet pastels will NEVER go out of style.
