I live in Madison, NY and if you're anywhere close, I have a hard case you can borrow. I used it to take my 1980 186CC to England and back. As long as you are handling it yourself (rather than putting your trust in airport baggage handlers) you'll be fine.

Re: Hard Case Questions re. 186
what really sucks about that situation is not the case but the Jeep. I used to have one & it really was a PITA driving it to gigs because it meant I couldn't stop to get a snack or to pee or anything, as it was basically non-lockable. Carrying a big case into the 7-11 was an option but the optics were bad, particularly in parts of Baltimore.

Re: Hard Case Questions re. 186
mine got 14, one of the many reasons I no longer own it. I can't imagine a 6hr (one way?) drive in it even without having to navigate safe "nitrogenate" breaks. good luck!
