P1000 Delton's painfully slow build

FedEx ground!

"FedEx Ground....... for when it really doesn't have to get there!"

Food for thought: Actual FedEx and UPS stores are WAY cheaper than using one of those shipping stores. Usually 50-60% less in my experience.

Spending the time to actually create an account with UPS will save a chunk as well. I have had packages drop $5-10 if I quote without signing in first.

I have an account but all my ups app would offer is next day at 491 bucks. Not happening.

Only ups store in this area is only open 3 days a week for couple hours in afternoon when I'm at work. Difference wouldn't have helped. Size of box put it in the heavy/large box category which almost doubles the price. Add in fuel surcharge and you get one super dry shafting.
After removing those additional supports, height of box was cut by a third. And so was rate

Might be able to do an internal sleeve or some of the ebay bolt together tube adapters in the future.

Not seen any others with that much support anyways. I think it's extreme overkill. I'm testing a set before selling any more.

FedEx Freight might be better.

Too soon for a "in dire need" joke to help fund a set of fronts??

Don't we all!

Got rears installed. Probably not gonna see much of a difference as long as stocks are in front.

Mockup of new door design. Uses stock latch.

 

[Delton]

Got a little more done. Basically just tacked hinges on and came up with reinforcement for latch plate. Like it so far.

 

[Delton]

These came in to do the rear door storage mod. I ordered a dozen in case I could use them somewhere else. On my 8th straight day of working so maybe I'll get time to install one of these days.

Glad that you're still dropping by @Delton.
Kind of quiet here without you building something new.

I still lurk lol. Just ain't had much free time to contribute here lately. Got a crap ton of people waiting on doors but no time to build anything. Not enough hours in a day

I’ll take a set of those new ones that use factory latches when you get around to it.
