Re: The pain of returning a hood to Classic Industries
I can understand why they need to see for themselves if it is as bad as you claim. I know you showed pictures, but in the end the skill level of the one installing is a factor to consider. Your body man may be the best on earth, but they have no way of knowing. I just flat out don't buy any part like that if shipping is involved. For this reason and just as much to eliminate risk of damage in shipping. It could be spread from compression where no signs show other than overall dimension. I have read where site vendors flat out won't sell the hoods for poor fitment issues. It pays to read around this site. Lots of information like this discussed, then there are review boards. I believe there's a thread in there on this. A while back I put together a '68 front clip from all top quality repro and the results, after all the shimming, were very disappointing. Parts just flat out made wrong
