Called the shipping company. Mine will be here Monday

 

My body shop received my hood late Thursday and I got a chance to see it on Friday. SWEET! The parts guy at the body shop said the packaging was as good as he's seen so Trufiber did a great job of packing and shipping.

Like David mentioned, there is a hard line bead going down the center of the hood that doesn't quite fit with the rest of the car so I'm going to have them remove it. The shop is fitting the hood so I'll be able to see it on the car Monday or Tuesday. Another mod I'm having done is install the '71-'73 twist down hood pins. I'm also having them remove the antenna and fill the hole.

Hopefully, I'll have the car back in 8 or 10 work days. I'll post pics when it's done.

mine must be coming Monday as well. What is the bead running down the center? I can't really tell?

 

hey guys,

i received my GTS-1 hood in a box and inside it was padded and wrapped up. I was very satisfied with the packaging.

 

got mine yesterday. I'll post pics of the wrapping and all as soon as I get off work

 

The guy I spoke with on Saturday to have the hood delivered Monday didnt make a note to the delivery crew. So... I'm set for Wednesday evening now.

 

Mine arrived today!!!

Packaging looks AWESOME (see pics)... I'll unwrap it this evening and show the details of this center "bead" we've heard mentioned - it looks out of place and should definitely be REMOVED!!

All in all I was very impressed with how Trufiber wrapped it and cushioned it - the corner of the cardboard box had a pretty good crunch in it - but no damage to the hood!

heres a couple of wrapped pics

 

Are there any of these hoods left (from the group buy)?

Also - can someone measure the distance between the two sets of louvers - I want to see if I can get 10" wide stripes between them...

 

Looks good guys. Mine should be in today. Cant wait

 

Red,

The spacing between the louvers is 21"...

there should be 2 more left for sale...HURRY!
the window will be closing soon!

 

Mine came as schedualed. As everyone else mentioned the hood was EXTREMELY well packaged. No damages to the box or the hood.

My only complaint was with the delivery guy. He was very rushed and didn't want to wait 10seconds for me to check the conditions of the hood inside. Other then that, a job well done by TruFiber.

Now... to save for paint!

 

wow! so glad u guys are getting the hoods now.


btw, no hood pins for me. my bodyshop says the latch seems very solid.

congrats guys!

 

I am really tempted to pull the trigger - if I knew that no one was going to offer a Supr Snake style hood for a standard-nose GT in the future...

 

The on ly thing with the SS hood is that if its ever made it will most likely be made for the GT500 facia becuase the hood lines would match that facia much nicer then the "straighter" GT facia. JMO

 

I was wondering the same thing>.Is the delivery person really gonna wait while you look over packaging? I took a chance and got lucky.Had my neighbor sign for me..Who's gonna try to put hood struts on theirs?

 

hey guys..i have my stock prop rod.

i honestly think that works very good.


also....hood pins are not necessary...unless brutally fast 1/4 races....

 

My MRT struts are goingf back on for sure!

 

Hows your hood coming along? We haven't heard anything form Scott.
