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.)
