I'll tell ya what NOT to do:) Don't have it shipped airfreight unless it
is crated. I bought a hood a few months ago for my IROC from Ky. Airborne
Express said to just bubble wrap, then cover with cardboard....What I
received was a wasted pice of sheetmetal. ONly saving grace was that I
insured it against damage just in case....but it's been two months now, and I
still haven't gotten my money back yet.
With that said, I don't think my hood would have been in good shape even
crated, unless it was done in some of that foam stuff and secured 100%.
Anyway, good luck,
Mike
