I have good news and bad news for you Keith. Bad news is I couldn't find a box at the local supermarket that would acomodate the door panel. The good news is I work at a furniture shop and was able to slam a crate for it together for free, out of scrap wood in about 30 minutes. Obviously wood is heavy so that is unfortunate, but at least the items won't get smashed now. The quote on USPS.com for shipping the crate is 60 bucks

. It may or may not be an extra 5 bucks because it is wood and not cArdboard, but I don't know yet. So 85 bucks should cover everything. I understand that it doesn't sound too appealing now. So let me know if you still want to do it. I figured on having this problem and that is why I don't ever have the heart to charge fellow Oldsmobilers for parts they need.
