I'm looking for recommendations on having a Mobil Pegasus cookie cutter sign (93" x 69" x 3") shipped. Please help...

I would crate it up nice and then put it up on Uship.com for some bids. I've had good luck shipping things through there.

If you are able to unbolt the legs and tail, they nest in the back side of the body, making the package smaller and easier to ship..

Petrodad is correct. I've done a number of these over the years. When these signs were originally shipped to the stations they had the legs and tail packed inside the body. Once you do that it's very easy to make a crate out of 2 sheets of light plywood and sides made of 2x4
Good luck

I kept a number posted on here awhile ago for a woman named Wendy who travels from coast to coast. We spoke today...and waiting to see where it goes.
Thanks to everyone who has helped so far.
If there are more suggestions...keep 'em coming... I haven't finalized anything yet...
