you need a freight forwarder, and they will sort out the car shipping for you. Most of the car shipper wont take "private customers" so you will need a company to sort it out for you.

Try and find one nearby the port / shipping area, as they will need paperwork etc, well in advance of the shipping date, so the car is prepped and ready to go on board.

You can usually ship in 2 ways. RORO (roll on roll off) where the car is just strapped down in the ships hold, with other cars, or container, which is safer, and allows extra stuff to be shipped along with the car, but is more expensive.

That's what I was thinking. But then I was like, "What happens when he drives in the rain?" But then again, this car probably doesn't see the rain.

It is the ECU. No worries with the rain, fender was modded to make sure nothing happens to it. But in reality I'd be more worried about when I wash it because the car very rarely sees rain.

Here are the clamps we have in stock. I'll look up what psi they are made for but I'm sure they're sufficient.

As of now we are only on the planning stages and will NOT start any work on the car until I think its prudent and The budget is permitting of course.

I'll most likely setup a fixed HD video camera or two and hook em up to a live feed as well as recording for people's viewing pleasure.

It's gonna be fun
