FedEx/Customs Purposely Damages Vintage Car Part

[Born30YrsLate]

Unfortunately the claims form that was filled out by the shipper was for roughly 10% of what the total cost was...so I'm not hopeful on much of a settlement. It's not really the money thing either as now finding another pair...but what really burns me is what reason, even a bad one, would there be to justify drilling a bunch of holes in someone else's property...maybe it was training day and my stuff got picked for drill demonstration class.
Rick, it's like Custom's themselves uses Thrush mufflers to smuggle their own weed in and they were expecting a shipment to come through for themselves but were disappointed when my stuff turn up empty...with 5 holes in one they were obviously expecting to find something...where's the lazy worker when you want them? I'd be ok with a smart but lazy worker cause an ambitious moron can do much more damage...as demonstrated here.

I was on the phone with people from FedEx and the Dept. of Customs and Border Protection for most of the day yesterday, but I'm just some guy complaining about some old mufflers. The likely path forward will be to weld up the holes and try to match the dark blue paint with some hi-temp stuff and touch-up the welded areas.

Dan - I sent you a PM.

SO...if anyone runs across an NOS pair of these mufflers, I'm looking. These are the round type with 2.5" inlet and 2.25" exhaust.
