<VV> Dummy Drivetrain Advice for Transport

[Chris C]

If you have to ship something out to him, so he can assemble it and ship 
it back with it.  See if the person would be willing to ship it whole, 
and you ship back the part when you remove it.  Sure its a chance on his 
end, but you are taking a gamble on your end also.

If it avoids the car getting damaged or labor on his end to install 
pieces, maybe its worth it.
