shipping a car question.

[chimp koose]

OK the drag racing bug has bit again and I have found a good prospect in a 200" front engine dragster. Problem is that it is in virginia and I am north of the border in Saskatchewan. This is a BARE chassis , what do you guys suggest to ship it. How much could shipping be? Is there anyone you know of ( small operator) that could meet me at the border with it?The vendor will hold the car indefinitely untill I can arrange shipping but I dont want to get a deal on a car only to bleed out on transport. This chassis will be likely under 400# but likely 20' long. suggestions please.

check with BenD on the HAMB he seems to be reliable and reasonable.

From what I've heard in the last couple of years, there's not a commercial carrier that won't damage it unless it's in an undestructable crate. That would make shipping pricey. My advice is to find a racer who travels alot. People that aren't racers don't understand tube chassis's and will likely do something bad because of lack of exp. with them. This sounds like a reason for a road trip for you. You'll have an adventure to talk about. I went 1300 miles one way to pick up my first top fuel car.
