RE: Parts shipping

[ledman_70@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Thanks for the info again Don...I keep EVERY box I get to send stuff out 
in, but I can't find any boxes big enough for the large items. Never 
thought of checking the 2 car dealers we have in town, though. I'll 
probably just sell them on Ebay as pickup only, but this severely limits 
your buying audience.

----
Please address private mail -- mail of interest to only one person -- directly to that person.  I.e., send parts/car transactions and negotiations as well as other personal messages only to the intended recipient, not to the Clubhouse public address. This practice will protect your privacy, reduce the total volume of mail and fine tune the content signal to Mopar topic.  Thanks!
