Not to beat a dead horse, but the Plano boxes are very compliant and the sides will bend and then re-form to their original shape. The injection molded plastic and resin bodies on the cars are, however, much less compliant (stiffer), so on impact those thing that are less compliant will bear the brunt of the damage. It looks like most of the damage was "downward" (down on the tops of the cars) and if the cars were packed such that the top of the packing box was also the top of the Plano boxes, then I would hazard a guess that something very heavy hit the top of the box, or the top of the box hit something very hard, and those cars that were nearer the top of the Plano boxes probably sustained more damage than those towards the bottom. I, too, thought that David's packing job was over the top and was, in fact, going to use it for the Can-Am Proxy cars........ Live and learn.
Onwards to TransAm 2019!
