Not sure if you found a shipper but I've heard FASTENALL does a store to store transfer service.
One thing is I believe you need to pick up your items ASAP.

As the earlier post, Fastenal (yes the fastening people) will do whats known as a third party delivery. Pretty reasonable and fairly easy to work with. I shipped a transmission for my 2126 from SC to IL. Have sent other items that were fairly cumbersome with no issues. Might give them a try.

Fastenal does shipping and are apparently reasonable but they won't cross some imaginary line (maybe the Mississippi) so the pick up and delivery must both be confined to one side or the other. I haven't looked back to see where the seat is coming from but it seems to me it was quite a ways over that line to the east while the delivery is in Portland, OR.

More progress on my practice seat cover. This is just draped over the backrest. When the sides are finished, and listing rods are in & secured, I think it'll be okay.

I think I'm done with my "practice" seat cover, which used to be a drop cloth. LOL
Now I wait for my fabric from SMS to arrive, which means this could end up being my seat cover for the next driving season, or longer. It's not like I don't have plenty of other projects to work on!

Congratulations. Very nicely done. What is your sewing machine?

Looks great! It'll be a race to see who gets their material from SMS first. I ordered mine Dec 11th and supposedly it was in stock. We'll see.
I'm also curious about your sewing machine. I would love to try some upholstery but I'm pretty sure my little home machine isn't going to cut it.

 A compliment from Ross makes my day!  I picked up this Titan 650BL off FB Market Place. It had some issues after a screw had fallen out, so I got a good deal on it. It required some tinkering, but it's working well now. If anyone is thinking about doing some upholstery work I highly recommend looking for a machine that has a walking foot and a servo motor. If you get a reasonable deal on a machine, you can use it, and then sell it again after. Or you could keep it, because you can never have too many tools. This has been a pretty challenging project, right up there with replacing valve guides.  Attach file: 20231017_075757_resized_1.jpg (216.81 KB)
