Cough cough showcars cough cough....................Your story is ugly , but I think I could top it.
16 months and a lame excuse every time I called netted me a flat hood for a '65 Dart that I won't be using now.
I got sick of waiting and found one with a 4" cowl used , bought it and while that hood was in transit , I finally got a tracking number from showcars.
Their quality is somewhere between so so and poor......the hood will work with some work.
But at the end of the day , I was just happy to have something for my money.
