(They had to make a bunch of small slits in the bottom hood supports, de-arch it and then re-fiberglass the supports. The hood hinges also had to have the slots elongated. Just an FYI for you.
I hope by some fluke mine lines up better... $3000.00 (60hrs X $50.00) extra to make the hood fit hood would be hard for me to take after I just paid for 100 hrs to fix all the poor workmanship we found that the last shop did. Well time will tell. I have not hear anyone else comment on the hood having problems but then again I bet most are not looking for th level of fit and fiish you are.
