    WOW.. this HECTOR fello went above & beyond the call... He packaged and sent a complete 69 rear bumper, well protected, safe handling and delivered it to Greyhound. I picked it up at our local greyhound and it was even better than he described! NICE JOB Hector!

    THANK YOU!

    Wheelz, Tampa Bay

    btw IF you come across ANYTHING 65 Lark or GS, keep me in mind!

    Greyhound just depends on the route the bus takes. Sometime the package has to sit at a transit depot(bus station) until the next bus going the package direction comes thru. Had a 66 Skylark trunklid shipped from Cali to South Louisiana. Took two days. Shipped a fender to Alabama somewhere and it took a week. Best thing about greyhound is there are relatively cheap compared to all the others

    Thank you guys I always try to pack things the best most cost effective way I can and ship as soon as you make the payment. There has been a few exceptions where I was busy getting married and moving but I always try to come threw. Thank you for supporting my dream and small business. Hector

    Bolts and specific hard ware are always free if you have ever purchased anything from me. All that I ask is that they are going to be used and are not just to have as an extra set. Hector
