OK Spike - you are right that we need pics... so here they are, starting with the truck from Partain:
Michael the driver was great. We had to move out an ultralight (!) and an RV-9A QB fuse to get my box:
Then we put the big box on a dolly and wheeled it into the garage. I'm building in the single stall side, but for now I'm unloading in the "car" side of the garage:
Here is what I found after opening the lid (and removing an infinite number of staples). Very well packed, as always:
I started to unload the box - and stopped to take a picture of the pretty pink cowl. I don't know anything about fiberglass, but I'm impressed with the quality of the cowl:
Unfortunatley for my, there is a large and expensive piece of plastic in the box
and even worse I had to move it
to get to the goodies underneath:
I've finished the inventory (except for the hardware kit)... and I'm going to start (gulp) on the canopy frame next.
Wish me luck - it's cool to think that this is the last "big" box that will be delivered.
BTW - big recommendation for Partain Transport. He was a little cheaper than ABF, but came right to the house. I wouldn't have wanted to pick up that big box down at the freight terminal!
