Re: Cowl hoods for a 72 gmc

My Mechanic noted it on the Bill Of Lading and I'm going down tomorrow to take pictures of the damage.

So from MY perspective, they need to:
1) Ship a replacement Hood IMMEDIATLY, and not
wait for this one to be returned.

2)Give me $$ in refund for fixing the Hood, (and NOT a "Credit" off my next purchase).

So my NEXT question will be, has anyone had a similar problem with a Hood or Body Panel from LMC (or any other Manufacterer) and what was YOUR problem and the outcome?

So LMC calls me and gave me the option of:
1) Sending out a New Cowl Hood without waiting for THIS one to ship back.
2) A COMPLETE refund after they receive the Dented Hood Back.
3) Take it to a Body Shop, and get an Estimate and they'll send me $$ for the repairs.

They don't do "Credits" anymore as it was to much of a Paper Trail to keep track of how much "Running Credit" a Customer has.

So I chose to take Option #3 from above.

Now the unexpected pleasure of the day, was my Wife stopping by to take a couple of pictures of my Truck with the new Cowl Hood installed.
Our Mechanic is 15 Miles down the Hill from our House, but my Wife has to gas-up her Patrol Car, and drive right by there!
She sent me the 2 attached pictures this afternoon while I was at Home.\
I TOTALLY SH**T MY PANTS!
On one of the pictures, I had to do a little Photoshopping to get rid of the "Reflection" on the Front End.
