It boards the ship in a couple days, then should arrive Long Beach around the 19th, then here in LV on the 21st, or so.

Wow you really got some pull over there LV. When I inquired about having a car shipped from HI via Matson they were telling me 3 months. But then the deal fell thru and that timing was never proven. Right Jeff?

Very cool!

[SuperNovaSS]

3 months??? Where did that quote come from.

3 months I can get cans from Charleston SC to China in less time than that... and for $425... the inland freight costs me more than the Ocean Freight... All they want is cans back over there... so they can charge $4000 for the return trip... LOL
I am trying to offset the trade balance but We need to stop importing so much crap..

After shipping the DANA off from Honolulu and tracking the ship/contaier to Long Beach and then over to Vegas it finally arrived at LVs Rod Shop. Pictures of the off loading were forwarded to myself.

Steve has asked me to post a few updates and pix of the Dana Camaro's arrival to his place in LV, Tuesday, April 24. He isn't presently feeling to jazzy, due to two recent hospital stays, but he wanted me to update the interested forum members at my discretion as to the progress and migration of the 68 Dana Camaro.

Check out pictures of its arrival.

Don't know how to say it except......

That thing is amazing, and couldn't possibly be in a better place.

Now for you Mr. Sandlin! Didn't I ask you to take care of yourself?

Hope everything's going well and you're back at it soon.

You too Pete! Them hospitals suck! Glad they're around when we need 'em, but just as soon not frequent ANY of 'em too often.

Get well guys!

Steve head out and sit in the car and take a few deep breaths of that Fisher Interior...that will help some, take care.
