    I have an idea it might be stupid but it is worth bringing up to all of you with rising cost of shipping I thought it might be posible to set up a shuttling program for getting parts from one member to another we have members all over the country and it might be posible to make somthing like this work anyone with an input on this feel free to chime in this is just an idea.

    ive discussed this before with some other members.... only problem is that you wouldnt be able to really schedule anything as far as drop-off/pick-up simply because of peoples schedules with work and family. the idea of it is awesome, but these days most of us simply just dont have the time :(

    It doesn't help right now but my work takes me from Richmond VA to Northern NJ almost every week in the fall. Now my van is pretty full with equip. but bumpers, one fender, small parts would be no problem for me to meet anyone along I 95.
    edit;
    Maybe a hood , but pretty sure I could not get 2 fenders at the same time at least without possible damage them.

    It worked for me once. An awesome member here was able to bring my bucket seats down from Oregon for me. The seller wouldn't ship but was willing to hold them for me until I got it worked out. In those situations if you ask someone here may step up if they can.
