hi all, one of these days (soon I hope) I will get my old mustang project going. I was planning on picking up some of the parts that need to be replaced like the full floor board and then setting them aside until I have the additional money to have them installed. this way I don't have to come up with all of the money at one time or hope that I can save up for it and not be tempted to spend the money on other things.
so my question is for those of you who have had large items shipped to your house truck freight, what pointers can you give to when it comes delivery time? did you have to take off work to be home when it's delivered? did you have to go to the trucking company to pick up the parts? what about any extra fees like having it delivered to a house instead of a business? any other suggestions you might have?
I have a local mustang parts supplier however I have found that some of the larger suppliers have more options, for example, NPD has 2 different full floor boards; an import version and a US made of heavier steel version. since the fllor boards are part of the unibody I am thinking I would prefer the heaveir steel version and I don't know if the local guy has these additional options that just aren't listed on his website.
thanks for any words of wisom ya'll might have,
