Hi Al
  You might be able to ship the hardtop via Greyhound.  I had a TR7 "Snugtop" 
shipped from Denver to Seattle by a trucking company (Yellow) a few years ago 
for $240 or so.  But if it had been just slightly smaller, it could have gone 
via Greyhound for closer to $85.  The TR6 top might be smaller, so maybe it 
will fit in a bus.
  For packing, I found a local box company that would make a custom cardboard 
box (double thick walls and enormous) and I shipped the folded-up box to the 
seller.  Worked great!
