The place where my fiance took the 74 Firebird finished early and should be home on the weekend. My fiance passed through IN to pay the guy and see the car on the way to S Carolina. I think he only paid $6500 for everything - even wet sanding and buffing.

Looking good so far! Personally not a fan of a nonfunctional hood but to each his own!

Can't wait to see the results!

I would keep sending them emails until it does do some good. These companys need to start standing behind the products they put out on the market.

Amy that seems high to me but I have always been involved and usually my brother or a friend. Lets just say I am paying total about 15% of what you are paying. So that is why I can't complain and it will look excellent.

HaHa Lou, my email did really good. I sent another not so nice response and waiting for a reply. I will post it when I get it. Such Aholes. That hood was advertised as premium quality. Never thought it would be a POS lowest quality available. It will be a nice hood when finished but not worth the hassles.
Stay away from this companys products.

That hood reminds me of the 67 Corvette Stinger hoods.

Can't wait to see the finished product. Black will look nice on it.

I can't wait to see how the new paint looks when it's finished. The wheels will definitely look great with the new black paint.
