Rich, here's what I've accomplished so far. I'm trying really hard to save this rare Indian. Thanks for sending the red parts car, it was definitely critical in saving this one, let's hope it keeps going well.🤞😊
Finally to here. Also, the first pic again for comparison. Stay tuned.😊

@Geno I tried to find an earlier post (I'm assuming there was one 
) what was the back story, the model looks like to have had a rough interlude with something..

Thanks guys, Greg, the car was in perfect shape except for a couple of busted wheels, a donor model was sent with the wheels to use for replacement. What you see is courtesy of the USPS. They don't give a damn about your packages.😡

Your right Greg, my apologies to the good USPS employees. You do great. To the ones that don't care, please find a different job.😟

Guys, I also apologize to you all for my rant. It just angers me that some people don't put any value in others items. If you work in a position like that, please handle folks valuables with care. This item had fragile labels on every side of the box.😟

@diecast1-24cars Thanks Greg, it was extremely frustrating to open the package and see the damage. My heart sank.😟

@geno Please, no apologies needed. I just had an incident where FedEx broke some of the contents of a shipment to Texas. I over packed that thing so much they must have worked overtime to break it . It had huge FRAGILE stickers all over it. Like a red flag to a bull, i guess.

@whodeytink I'm in the same boat. My buyer contacted me on Saturday with photos of the carnage aka delivery process of FedEx. Luckily I sent it Signature required so he took photos and refused it.
