Wanted to ask for thoughts on shipping cars. I have planed on using the legand style shipping container method. I will be shipping two cars. What additional steps or items should I be considering? What considerations should taken in regards to having the car ready to be taken out of the box n raced?
 
I think there is a thread on this some where, can't remember. Anyways make sure your cars fit snug in the carrier, no movement forward or back, left to right. Glue your top center foam to the inside for the lid, super glue works fine. I use a Velcro strap to keep my box's closed. Mark on your box your builder name, the car name, and the class. Also write the same on the bottom of the car. Make sure you include a return shipping label, a super easy thing to do USPS or UPS web sites. Search the board there are some pictures.
Heres a picture of Owens cars and how they are labled.
