Anybody have any thoughts on having a only the body shipped......feasible or no? Thanks.

From where to where, ...and which body??

Who is going to crate or palletize it? What lift equipment is available at each end to load & unload it? What manpower? Is it a local move or distant? Can it take weather exposure or do you need enclosed transport? . . .

The answer depends on what works for you.

Get ready to put a second mortgage on your house as it is not going to be cheap. Wayne

I heard of a sedan body shipped UPSIDE DOWN in a closed trailer. It arrived with an 18 inch "CHOP"!

When I sold a 29 town car I made a subframe out of 2 by 12s and braced it well. Bolted the body to it and attached 6 in rubber wheeled casters from harbor freight. We rolled right into the guys trailer and sent it down the road after we strapped it down. I see no reason this would not work on just about any model a with some planning. Best of luck

Buddridge,
You can always get a variety of answers for any question on the barn. I also visit other websites and I noticed on the AACA forum there is a category for trailers and towing where car guys who are already making the trip have room or are going one way empty. It's a free site also and you don't need to be an AACA member. I don't know your to/from so I can't comment but maybe someone over there can help.

As long as you are visiting other websites, take a look at the classifieds on Ahooga.com. They always have some travelers too.
