O.K. guys, here is how to save money on getting seat frames shipped. Have your vendor cut the uprights off so that they will fold flat for shipping. When you receive them, place a 1/2 inch NPT pipe nipple in the tubes that were cut and then weld the tubes back together. The pipe nipples fit perfect and give you studs for re-assembly of the seats. I had two seats frames for my M38 shipped from California to Georgia for a total Fedex cost of $30.00 THis is a fraction of the cost you wouold have to pay to have two fully assembled seats boxed and shipped.

I quoted around 45-55$ to ship a single seat frame from NY to So Cal. I guess one has to justify the work and mental commitment involved to your "cut" and "paste" alternative.
Viable suggestion though.

Another cheap method is to use greyhound express shipping- I sent a complete CJ2A cowl, firewall, dash assy wrapped in foam and celophane wrap from Atlanta, GA to New Mexico for a cheap $53. They said it would take a week but it was there in three days!
You drop off ready to ship item at your nearest greyhound bus depot and they pick it up at their closest bus depot.
