Christmas in August!!!!!!
The truck had just dropped off my hood when the UPS driver pulls up with rest of my stuff. I got a 67 Cervinis hood, CDC classic chin spoiler and billet upper and lower grills. I am really surprised in the way they pack the hoods. Not much protection at all. Just a box and a couple pieces of foam. One corner was hanging out of the box but it had a metal bracket bolted to it so no damage, some minor rub marks here and there but nothing that wont easily be taken out during prep. I will say the trucking company they use is great. I called the local YRC trucking terminal this morning asking what the shipping charges were and if they knew when it would be delivered. She gave me the total and said the driver would call about an hour before arriving but she would check to make sure it was going out today. She called me back about 10min later and said she was having loaded now and the driver would call me. About an hour later he calls saying he is at the Home Depot by my house and as soon as he gets done unloading he would be by. 45mins later he arrives. He notices the bracket hanging out and suggests checking everything. After inspecting it he helps carry to my garage and BSs alittle about cars. Most of these trucking companies will hardly do anymore than they have to to get the stuff off of their truck let alone point out something wrong. Now that everything is unboxed I need a moment alone

You painting the chin?
Is that the grill from American Muscle?

Not sure if we are going to paint it or not. i stuck it on there and it doesnt look too bad. It does have a texture to it so I dont know how well it will look painted. Yes those grills are from AM, they are Stack Racing.
