I have quoted FedEX for a couple of people and it has been expensive.  I've heard that shipping by passenger bus (they will put big packages in the storage compartment below) is much more economical.  But, I think you are still looking at numbers like $80 for a hatch, maybe less for a fender, probably more for a hood.

Charlotte, NC 28208 is 250 miles from me.  It makes more sense from a shipping standpoint to get a pallet and ship all the items at once "LTL" (less than truckload) truck freight.  Freight shipping would probably be less than $200 for a hood, hatch, fender, and both headlight housings.  I am holding onto the hatch with the vertical defrost lines for now, as I may need it for my current project.

Just thinking outside the box, I have a sandblaster and potentially could sandblast small areas of interest...

Bump - and status update:

  • Sold one hatch and I am holding onto the other one for now (I may need it after all).  
  • One hood still available $300 (other one is probably sold - I just need to provide a shipping quote and receive payment)
  • Headlight housings (metal) are reduced to $80 each.  
  • Fender still available $250.  Next time I sandblast some parts (in the next week or so) I will sandblast the lower corner and post pics.

I have had good luck shipping large items via Greyhound - much cheaper than FedEx or UPS for large items.

Update pics of the fender after sandblasting the lower corner.  One or two pin holes and some pitting, but otherwise this is very nice.  A fender like this saves you lots of time on body work prep instead of one you have to section in new metal, metal work, etc.

--> $250 plus shipping

Just as fyi - the problem of rusting through in this area on our Z fenders can be eliminated by altering the back support a bit.  Cutting out some of the back support to allow debris and water to drain/fall down, instead of getting trapped and accumulating here is possible without materially altering the strength of the panel.  Cut the support for better drainage, sand blast pitted area, epoxy prime or other treatment to seal and you're done.
