Re: Parting out two yes two ZR-1
Ok those of you who ordered smaller stuff that should have been gone already. The Fed Ex guy keeps racing past my office at 100 mph, never picks stuff up. Well I scheduled a pick up, so hopefully the Fed Ex gods will smite him if he passes again forcing me to drive the 8 miles to a fed ex office center.

Re: Parting out two yes two ZR-1
I had a Melrose box that I used I think 4 times to ship a top and part of the sale was that the top be returned. The fifth sale was going to the left coast and the return of the empty box was a little more than I had anticipated and I just let it go with the sale. I had "no issues" with any top I shipped. I've sent one other top and it "arrived alive" also. The Melrose packaging isn't hard to duplicate.
I've always used FEDEX and only once I had to open a box for their inspection before they would apply the amount of insurance that I requested. I don't use UPS for anything of value. Yes there's problems with all of them and this isn't the time of year to be considering the ship of valuables or anything of value. |

I've had two issues with deliveries of UPS packages - one I found in the middle of the yard. Several months later another and the shipper replaced the order no questions asked. 90 days or so later UPS wanted to investigate and after a conversation they said they could check the package by GPS and it was delivered and they pinpointed the drop spot. It was a very light piece of software, less than I'm sure 6 - 8 ounces and I'm sure it blew away. It was well beyond "breezy". I had checked the yard and a couple adjacent properties before calling the vendor. I asked the gal "you can confirm the drop" -she said "yes"! I had the original box from the "middle of the yard incident" and gave her the package tracking. The scan was done nowhere near my house. She didn't say how many feet but it wasn't at my door-step. Theirs and I'm sure others are very sophisticated tracking. The package was about this time of year and I arrived home from work way past darkness every weekday from my work. I looked out the window on a Saturday morning and spotted the box while talking on the phone. Tracking said it had been there a couple of days. It was a CF buy and I had no idea of when to expect it. |
Re: Parting out two yes two ZR-1
Melrose has a special heavy duty box with a sort of framework cardboard skeleton top holder which adds both strength and provides a gap to allow the corners and ends of the outer box to crush and never touch the top. I have considered buying just the box from that guy as i had an $800 misadventure with a C6 top that got hammered when it knife-edged right through the end of a box that the seller thought was going to work out.
The seller was a lawyer in Texas and convinced FedEx to pay the insurance. |

I was refering to the "LIE" aspect by the UPS Pack and ship story. Dont get me wrong I dont trust either UPS or FEDEX however, they are your only option sometimes or large heavy items like tires. I have great success with the USPS. |

Re: Parting out two yes two ZR-1
Ok here is what I've learned about parting out two of these at the same time or anymore period.
I am 99.9% sure I ain't doin' this again. All ZR1 owners owe me 10 bucks for making their cars more rare and valuable. I am not removing heads again, if someone wants the heads they can do the work, removing the timing set up and packaging of the remaining block, AFTER paying me. So 4k for Block heads and timing gear. 1,900 for a block with crank, and pistons/rods. Hehe I said 'Rods'. Everyone wants something relatively cheap that requires 10 hours of work, and incapacitates the car. I am Jerry's B*%ch. There is no Santa Claus The Fed ex guy thinks it's hilarious as he blows by me trying to flag him down, He waves back while laughing and trying to break his time record through the parking lot. This was too hard to take on in a new unknown area (there is like no newspaper for packing here) with no large vehicle to get/drop off stuff. A bicycle, Harley and Lowly LT1 Vette are just not sufficient. I am too far now From Brett to come visit and give me money. Gold Cylon would probably be cool to have a beer with. Wile E. Cyote just ain't the Super Genius he claims to be. |

Re: Parting out two yes two ZR-1
Come on how many of these have you parted out? I have killed 4 ZR-1s so you all owe me $40 bucks each for making your car more rare.
Parting them out is fun! |

Re: Parting out two yes two ZR-1
I parted one out and it was painful to watch especially since I really liked the car.
My garage looked like a huge Thanksgiving Day table after everyone had finished eating. |

Re: Parting out two yes two ZR-1
In regards to shipping the top, TCurtner shipped one to me in March. He wrapped it in bubble wrap, supported it with closed cell foam, and used two overlapping guitar boxes. The top was perfect on arrival. :) Hard to say it was overkill, maybe just enough. I also arranged to pick it up at the UPS store close to home because I didn't want it delivered when no one was home. Can't be too careful.

Re: Parting out two yes two ZR-1
Y-me,
Would like roll cage molding or halo for both sides. Also, do you have the rubber gasket for the door strikers? These can be found at the upper door on the C pillar. I can provide pics if needed. |
