Don't know about Australia but I have been shipping things to Germany recently and after checking with all the international outfits it turned out that the USPS was the cheapest by far.  They will take packages up to 70 pounds.  The cost varies depending on the weight and size of the package and there is a limit on the overall size of the package so you have to use those variables to calculate the actual cost.  If what you are sending isn't too large or heavy they also offer what they call a large flat rate box that you can use for things that will fit in it and weigh 20 pounds or less. 

Since there is a fairly big drag racing and burnout contest community down under there is surely a way those guys get their parts. Think outside of the antique car world and check with people who ship stuff there often. They also ship cars there just to race in the summer there (winter here) and do so by putting them in a container. I don't know what you are shipping but there has to be a way that's cost effective or they couldn't do it.

Sorry I have only been on the receiving end.

Thanks, that is what I thought.

I need to ship a part from Alabama to Australia. Can anyone advise me on the least expensive method?

Hay guys I agree. Unfortunately there isn't many early Plymouths and even fewer people who work on them. We do the best we can with what's available to us. And yes we need to stick together.

I haven't even uncovered mine this year. I need to get it in gear. Literally.

Cheers

Hey Walter,  I have been in this hobby for longer than I care to remember and if we can't help each other there's no reason to have a Forum like this.  I have helped out  and been helped out over the years and that is part of what makes this hobby great and keeps our cars on the road. Like you, I just wish more people would share what they are doing. I know there are a lot more participants on the Model T Forums but they actively share their experiences and by doing so they provide great information for their fellow club members.  Happy Motoring!

Val (Rusty Fender) sent me a carb part off his spare carb that seems to always be broken to see if I can get it duplicated. I have never met him he lives halfway across the country. He has nothing but my word that he will get his part back. Without it his carb is pretty much worthless.  The people in this community are awesome.

Rant over go back to working on those old Plymouths and show us what you have done.

Right!
