I can see how it can turn bad so easily ;x

Maybe we should post these pictures when we are discussing whether to pay shipping insurance or not...

The plastic drop sheet should provide plenty-o-protection ;)

I wonder if the owner has seen the painted over rust on the Vette?

From what I've been told by Dublin CA locals, Kassabian Motors doesn't have a AAA rating ......

Here's my Mach 1 loaded. The one owner GTA fastback underneath it is the one I was refering to in another post that got stood on and damaged by customs.

Hey Pedro, have read your previous posts on your Mach 1- very bloody nice, well done. Still amazed these knobs will stand on a classic like its a bloody outdoor setting. Have any of you guys tracked your container by pilship? She's no gps tracker let me tell ya! Should start a post on reputable shipping companies. My convertible arrived with some paint chipped, could have been a lot worse aquis blokes told me. Great to see so many mustangs coming in to Australia, its so noticeable how many more are seen on our roads. Keep em coming! :(

Mate the corvette is not mine , i don't know who's it is,  the one at the back under plastic cover is a packard early 50's , i don't know who owns that either , our car is at the front with nothing on top, blue roof white hood.
cheers chris.

It's more expensive, but when I have shipped I only put two into a 40ft container. I suppose this double decker packing looks worse than it actually is, it's being done every day and you don't hear too much going wrong.
