Re: 67-68 Standard & Cowl hoods are Junk

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.

Paul ( Owner ) @ GMCPauls
Are the hood manufactures Tiwanese or are the hoods made by Tabcobodyparts.com in Cleveland Ohio who offer a cowl hood MADE IN THE USA for $449.75 ?
