Its gonna have plenty of large black marker warnings all over it for sure. "Caution..very heavy. Use two hands and please DO NOT drop."

Over here that's like a red rag to a bull... fragile means drop kick, do not bend means squash into as little a parcel as you can...

I glue/screw handles on for automotive cranks.
Anything that keeps them from dropping them helps.

IF i happened to have a 5 or 6 inch diameter chunk just laying around thats an awesome idea!!!

Plastic pipe with glued end caps make great shipping containers for crankshafts.

About 2 layers all the way around the crank and the cams. I left about 2 inches on each end of the crank and made folded up carbboard cushioning on each end as well. I may even wrap another layer..I was thinking on the premise that its so heavy that ( god forbid ) it should get dropped by the USPS it will have some degree of survivability. I would rather over do it and not have it dropped than the other way around.

So how many wraps of cardboard do you think are around the crankshaft?

Looks like a bit of over kill!

Parts are getting closer....

And wait until I show them the picture of how it looked when you found it.

he has had a rough life and to me that bike has a survuvors spirit and is a real fighter. Youre gonna be so proud when everyone comes up and wants to talk about the bike.

Indeed, what goes around, comes around, and Dale my friend, you are most deserving of each and every blessing thrown your way, Lord only knows you have helped so many, way above and beyond the call of duty.
Penelope is going to be one pretty lady, no doubt about that.

Ditto that!

I'll PM you if I get far enough to need to borrow it. Plenty to do in the meantime!

Having used Autocad 11C7 in the past, I thought that's what your .dwg resembled. I just wished I see the layers a bit better.
