Thumbs down 67-68 Standard & Cowl hoods are Junk

UPDATE
We how have as of Jan. 3rd 2017 the 67-68 stock style hoods available from all new tooling and these actually fit correctly. We will have the 67-68 cowl hoods available later in 2017



In the past we had problems with the curvature of the edges of the hoods not matching the fenders which could be resolved by doing pie cut slices on edge underneath to then pull them into alignment before tacking in place. These hoods have gone from being workable to achieve a great fit to PURE TRASH in our opinion now.
So we will no longer offer the 67-68 Standard or cowl hoods.
THERE IS ONLY 1 MANUFACTURER OF THE 67-68 STANDARD & COWL HOOD AND THEY ARE EXTREMELY POOR QUALITY. THESE HOODS ARE MADE TO LONG Front To Back Now, HAVE INCONSISTENT WIDTHS FRONT TO REAR, ROLLED EDGES ON EITHER SIDE OF HOOD CREATE A ROUNDED BODY LINE ON BOTH SIDES MAKING IT LOOK ALMOST LIKE A 2ND BODY LINE ON EDGE OF HOOD AND CURVATURE OF HOOD FROM FRONT TO REAR DOES NOT MATCH THE CURATIVE OF THE 1967 & 1968 FRONT FENDERS. SO WE WILL NOT SELL THIS HOOD
PLEASE BEWARE THE SUPPLIERS OF THIS HOOD ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS AND ALL RETAILERS SELLING THIS HOOD ARE SELLING THE SAME PRODUCT SO BUYER BEWARE Email if you would like pictures of many of the problems these hoods have.
the manufacturer has been told repeatedly by their wholesale buyers of the problem and continue to state in reply to them there is none so the problems only getting worse.
