So heres the box the complete FMII Hydra kit comes in
Doesn't look like much
but then you realize that it weight 87lb!! now you know theres something special in there!!
So now my guessing skills aren't too good, or my knowledge about boxes (random!) so can anyone tell me the dimensions of this box? From there I can attempt to sort out some shipping quotes and see if i can land up with that box at my house!!

try to find someone who has had that box before, OR; mathematically speaking, find someone who has the tile in that picture.. from there you can get length and width, then do pythagriam theorum to find all dimmensions.
just my 2cents. or you could guess, doesnt look too far off, but you'd be better off to over-estimate so you have enough money for unexpected charges
suppose that tile is a 1ft by 1ft.. the blue square tile. small tan tile, um.. 3in by 3in? or 4"x4" probly better, and the other darker brown would be 4"x8" or 3"x6"..

No Pythagorean theorem needed for this (which isn't for a rectangle anyway) just some good guess work. From what you said about the tiles I think the box is a 36 x 22 x 22" which is a standard size. I will be working with that for the shipping, wish me luck!

Nice looking car, only problem I've had with my FM kit is the coolant lines degrading from heat and needing repair every 6 months or so, spring for their hard water lines or get ones made.
Hard oil/water lines
The standard water feed lines and oil drain lines in our kits are silicone and/or rubber to deal with the heat involved. But even then, they do degrade over time and need replacing. We can replace them with formed stainless steel lines that should outlast the rest of the car. This is a $160 option.
