As far as the (no match) on the paint, He painted the hood without the car there to match. He called me and said he needed the room and I should come get the car. I think he just takes in too much work. Like a doctor, they can't keep up. We had a little talk yesterday, and he promised to have it next week. I'm going to pop in un- announced Friday and see if he's started it yet,. If not, it's refund and somewhere else.

ok, it's Friday... was hoping for some good news from you....

He was finishing up the car that was in line in front of me Friday. Rather than go through the hassle of argueing a refund amount, (he did some glass work on the hood also) and finding another shop, I left it there. It seems the older I get, the less confrontations I want to get into. I guess I'm just getting soft in my old age. Art

Wow, hadn't really kept up with you since then. Sorry to hear about the problems. Of course when I first started reading the thread, I was afraid it was going to be something about how the hood was a POS! Hope you get it finished up to your satisfaction this week.
BTW, the mrs is still mad at me for selling that hood. she really liked it.

No, man. The quality of the hood is great! It fits better than the stock one. I just had him glass in the center brace where it had been cut out for cold air intake. I'm super happy with it. Besides, it gave me the oppertunity to drive out there and meet you. How are you doing, by the way? While the car is in the shop I'll have the chance to install the new two post lift I'm buying later this week. Silver lining, I suppose. Get better, man, Art

Well, I just spoke with the acrual guy doing the paint on my hood instead of the shop owner. He said he painted it yesterday and will wet sand and buff it Monday. He said he was happy with it. Judging by that, I'm sure I will be too. He agreed with me about it not matching the first time when the shop owner said no problem. He completely redid it, stripes and all. I can't wait. It will have been almost a month since I've driven it.

sounds like good news and it's all under control.... hope you have the car back in your garage (with matching hood) soon.....

[clutchdust]

Well? I think we should be seeing pictures of the hood mounted on the car by now. :toetap:

Picked up the car on Friday. He did good this time. Went to a car show today and got 1st in class C-3.

Man, that's such a shame the colour doesn't match.

Just kidding, it looks fantastic

Worth the wait?
