    Bob, you continue to amaze me with your knowledge of all things!! You are absolutely right, I just called them, they are happy to do that, and there are so many benefits to us doing it that way. First of all, the price is lower.....$2800 vs $4300 and no $250 crating fee. The freight should also be lower as they just put it on a pallet. Best of all, they say in a week or two tops they can get it out the door.

    Another thing is that we were going to have to cut it up when it came to remove the subframe for channeling, now we don't. They will also leave the primer off and I have heard stories about how hard it is to remove. I just called Dan and he is going to probably order it today this way.

    Can't thank you enough Bob. If you have any of those "Bob Parmenter for President" buttons left, send me a couple of them........you have our votes.

    Dave, he told me this morning that they actually do have a 30-31 RPU body sitting there that they have built for a customer who can't pick it up until June, so we could have gotten that one. But by taking the unassembled one we save approx $1900 when you add in crating and higher shipping costs. That alone makes it attractive to do it that way, plus we don't have to cut it up when it comes to get the subframe out.

    BTW, they really seem like great people to deal with.
