Cervini's 67 Hood
I was about to pull the trigger on ordering a Cervini's 67 Hood and have it dropped shipped to a local body shop I spoke with. The hood will cost $495 and they were going to paint it for ~$750. So it would run about $1250 + shipping.
But I just ran into this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=200211508472. Hood + paint for $795 + shipping. Does anyone see anything hokey looking about this or the process they describe in prep and paint? Obviously my big concern would be a good color match.

RE: Cervini's 67 Hood
first off,if your shop is charging $750 to paint one of those hoods then they are ripping you a new one.
i would be worried about fitting the hood BEFORE paint to make sure all the lines are good,cervinis from what i have heard is one of the btter hoods for fitting the first time around.
once its painted i would be worried about it getting scratched in the shipping process,somewhere on that hood they have to hold it down to keep it from moving around
price is good for a painted hood shipped to you,i would just be concerned with those things i mentioned,if they gaurantee fit and can ship it back at thier expense then i would say all is good with that deal.but i think you coyuld get it painted local for under $400.

RE: Cervini's 67 Hood
It should really be fitted first,and yes that is a very steep price to paint it. Shop around for a better price. Plus Cervinis WILL NOT take a hood back if it's been painted, should any problems be found.

$400 is the max for painting a hood, so any shop with any name (famous or not) that want more than that...
Tell them to f...k off!!
Also, I installed/painted a 67 Cervini, and I was happy on every level.

RE: Cervini's 67 Hood
I was quoted around $750 too. this included painting the underside and top fenders (to match the shade). to all the guys that are saying over $400 is too much....are the fenders and underside included in the paint jobs?

Also that $400 or lessquote, doesn't include the prep time on fiberglass hoods if it's too intensive.
So there isn't one price fit all with fiber hoods.
