TOP TEN WAYS TO SHIP A HARDTOP CROSS COUNTRY
PER VARIOUS SUNBEAM LISTERS
10. Crate it. (Allan Connell.)
9. Buy a car, lift top high, drive car under top, lower top, secure
top, drive car cross country, remove top, sell car. (Condensed from
Steve LaifMann's advice.)
8. Oh, so now you want advice! (Condensed from Anonymous East
Coaster's advice.)
7. I think there was a tech bulletin on that... (Anonymous West
Coaster advice.)
6. Turn the top upside down, eh? Tie it to the back of the mail
truck backwards, eh? That way it will be just like a toboggan, slide
right over the snow, slicker'n snot! You let the Government take it
cross country for you, cheap and the mail truck stops for railroad
crossings, too, eh? Say, if I win do I get a beer? (Anonymous.)
5. Wrap in blanket, ship via UPS. (Various sources.)
4. Wrap in blanket, DON'T ship via UPS! (Various sources.)
3. Have professionally crated, take to motor freight company.
(Various sources.)
2. Have professionally crated, ship via air freight instead of motor
freight. (Tiger Technologies)
AND THE NUMBER ONE WAY TO SHIP A TOP ACROSS THE COUNTRY IS:
1. Place in appropriately sized carboard box, temporarily fix in
place, use aerosol expanding foam to fill plastic bags to hold top in
place in box, remove temporary supports, ship via motor freight. (Ron
Tebo.)
