Stay away from them at all cost. There are a lot of Nova, Camaro, Chevelle, people that are not happy with there hoods. There quality is very bad. If you have the time and skills then they might not be too bad. Any fiberglass parts are going to require some work to be ready to go. They are not bolt on items. But their stuff will require probably 3X the amount of work the US Body stuff does. Just for a example, when I got my tilt one peice front end from Ed at Mothertruckers, he told me it takes him about 40 man hours to fit and finish.
