    Yayyyy glad to hear it Cal! I saved this one from Veterans Day 2012, and the one of your son crouching near the Firebird. You FABO guys are beyond memorable. You're FAMILY!

    I'm still getting spam from @clhyer. Hey @RustyRatRod, did you ever try to call him? I haven't; his number is in the shop and I only FABO in the house. The two are usually disconnected.

    I sent a link to this thread to the pirate crew. How cool is this??? Ten bucks in booty for telling them how awesome they are!?!

    Not that I know of, but I've never read the fine print ... because there really isn't any to read. Just surf their website for a few minutes and take a tour of the ship. I don't think it even has a gangplank. :steering: All I know is that they've saved my guys an awful lot of money already and...

    A couple screenshots from PirateShip.com's latest email show a few pricing adjustments on USPS shipments. Surprisingly, some are going DOWN.

    Where Are All The Pre 2010 Members

    Jack, I have t-shirts older than he is but will still toss out a big Dating Game Kiss for that! I'll just stick with one of my dad's sayings: I'm old enough to know better but still too young to resist.

    January 17, 2005. Wow, a long time! Here's to 18 years of friends, fellowship, knowledge, deals and keeping our beloved babies on the road for future generations to enjoy!! One of the participants from one of my Young Guns Contests got in touch on the shop's Facebook page the other day. He's...

    With UPS shipments, you can just hand them off to any driver. An intake just arrived and I handed him an air cleaner. Didn't have to even leave the shop. FedEx will not permit that. It sounds like it's working out as well for you as it has for me. Happy to hear it!!

    Maybe a couple decades working for law firms helped. Your blatantly hostile honesty can sometimes bring positive results when adverse things happen, but good documentation and and a lot of tact work for me. Here's what I said about shipping a manifold recently, and my own claim filing horror...

    Custom Powder Coating

    A few teasers of the latest, a large 7-color spread so involved I'm going to call it Ben Hur! Balancing variances in steel and aluminum parts in the quest for uniformity can be a challenge on certain colors. Only the white and black wrinkle weren't candy translucent with metal flake. I'm tickled...

    Ummmm, not that I recall. I don't believe they handle international shipments but that's the only downside I can think of.

    I've only had a couple claims and neither were processed through pirateship. Those, one through FedEx and the other a total cluster-uck through International Priority Mail, were also both "ardously processed through email" including formal demand letters. Both resulted in successful full payments.

    Real life feedback showing the Pirates saved Wayne a lot of booty!!! I'm kind of surprised no other customers have said how the experience itself varies from the dry, impersonal service we've all gotten way too used to when sending packages and even envelopes. I sign in and am greeted with...

    If Nobody Else Does....

    Rob, get them off of kibble if you can. It's nothing but carbohydrates and fillers. There are some good YouTube veterinarians who explain it well.

    NO!!! You can insure it for any amount you wish (I've gone up to $2200). You just need to specify how much insurance coverage you want and pay the nominal extra amount. UPS includes $100 in insurance with every shipment; last I knew, the USPS only includes $50 with Priority Mail. Look under...

    I hope it's a smooth transition Rob. Sit him down and explain why he's safer inside. He'll get it. It was surprisingly easy for Speck and her brother The Stig, born in the shop March 21, 2015 and retired to the house last November simply because it cost too much keeping the heater on out there...

    shipping a manifold

    I don't know what they use and presume it's volume. I just like the prices to pass along to customers and the fact it's actually enjoyable to ship again.

    shipping a manifold

    You're welcome! If it helps just one person it's always worth it. I was surprised just now to see I've used the fun pirates to ship 32 packages since Rich M. told me about them a few months ago. I couldn't find anything on my account with an easy breakdown to see total savings but will estimate...

    Stop in for a cup of coffee

    Thank you! I'm happy to help design your color scheme if you need it. I recommend just looking at your engine bay -- or envisioning how it's going to look someday -- and pick out the details you want viewers to notice. The red on the ignition parts, the black wrinkle air cleaner, the yellow...
