Finally Got My Challenger Hood On
#11
They used the amount that was allotted for PDR towards painting of the new hood. The PDR was still less than the painting of the Challenger hood.

Boy, if they can't find the hood, they shouldn't have a job in the parts department. All they have to do is open their accessory catalog.

You might have a bit of trouble getting one as they are on hold for production, probably on backorder from parts. When the parts guys puts the number in the computer, it should give him the details.

That is an issue I have with body shops...something doesn't turn out...not their fault. Oh you want it buffed out after that's extra. I love it when you get a car or truck painted and they leave the hood dry or a run or fisheyes. It's like it was my fault. They ask me...did you wax the truck when you had it..no.. did you put Armor all on your tires..yes...then they say it's my fault! What a joke.I asked them did you clean it with reducer or whatever before painting. Did you tack rag it off? This was an old experience I had but now the prices at body shops are getting out of hand.
I ordered a cowl induction hood for my 72 chevy came airfreight very nicely packaged, huge hood and heavy, not a nick or scratch or ding or anything. If I had to complain I would have to say they put too much expansion foam under the braces...took me and hour to trim and clean that up. I only paid like 400 including shipping too.
I forgot about the door I ordered all together at once I got the doors fenders, inner and outer, the rad cradle and some other stuff, I picked it all up, didn't open boxes, funny the parts came from where I live I drove 5 hours to a vendor who sold me them all for a grand less total including my cost of renting a trailer and my gas. Wild how Cross Canada Auto Body can have such different prices. One door turned out to be have a dent, I asked the body guy should I get a new door he said not worth it so I called the place I bought it and sent him a picture. I told him my body guy will fix it. He said cool and my next order which was more than the door cost came free. I wish I would have taken a different door, this door cannot be made to not leak!!!!!!
