Hey South Texas folks! I have a transmission that needs a ride to Houston

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by Tman, May 30, 2013.

  1. The Doug Nash tranny for our Bonneville Lakester is sitting boxed at a shop in McAllen Texas. It needs a ride to the Houston area. 6inarow's brother lives in the Houston area and can pick it up and get it to Tom and I up here. If anyone can help us it would be great, If not, we are off to some shipper. TIA, Trent and the Spirit of South Dakota Racing Team.

    I will be heading down that direction in a week or two...going as far as Kings Ranch...or parts there abouts. If the box is clean (wifes car) I can move it for you.

  4. I would have to check on the box

    This sounds like one of the best options so far. We are not in a huge hurry but it is holding up the progress on the rear of the car. June may work.

  8. Lets try this again. JD has been patient but I need to get this thing North. Our swap at Bonneville fell apart.

    My son will be driving home from college in Corpus on Monday the 25th. He is driving my HHR to East Bernard Texas 60 miles west of down town Houston. If he has room and you can get it to Corpus and you toss him a bit of gas money(he is putting himself through school). He could get it to me here. I will be going into Houston to the machine shop soon.

    If fossil's deal don't work......

    If you can get it to near Corpus Christi, I'll be in the Houston area Sat December 7th & can deliver it to 6inarow's brother.
     
  11. Monday may be too quick, I will see if I can get in touch with JD

    I will also work this angle.

    Plus, if anyone is heading to Tulsa my brother just moved there as an option?

    Thanks guys!

    Any of you guys down there come up towards Kingsville, or even Falfurrias? I could get that far south for a hand-off fairly easily.
     
  13. Thanks 46, the last person I thought of asking who should have been the first is going to be able to pick it up! That will at least get it moving.
