Thanks. Unfortunately I have no way of hauling the big stuff from you and it would be too spendy to ship. If I can't get the small stuff from the semi-local guy parting out his coupe I'll let you know.

What remained of my coupe was picked yesterday. Unfortunately she’ll be derbied. Nobody was interested in the glass, so it all went with the car, which is a shame since it will all be broken out.
Little piece of friendly advice. These cars didn’t exactly grow from trees when new, and are a lot harder to find parts for 45 years later. When you make a contact that has them, you gotta find a way to get them. I sold a steering column to a guy from NY who drove to IL, IN, and WI to collect parts he found.
We didn’t get into a cheap hobby!

For shipping, locate a Fastenal store near where the seller lives. They'll quote you the rate, items can be packed on a pallet, and it will make its way to the Fastenal location near you. Will be less than USPS, UPS or FedEx. www.fastenal.com/locations

Fastenal isn't a cure-all unfortunately. I tried to get a hood shipped with them once and they couldn't do it. Other stuff doesn't work because it doesn't fit on a pallet, seller won't pack, etc. Someday I'll have a truck and just do the trips myself. Derby guys may get them all before then though.

Good news is if ncblues is still parting his coupe that can solve a lot of my problems.
