Thread: The hood of death!

well heres a run down of whats happened this week

Droped the car off Tuesday morning.
emailed them on Thursday for an update. and got this


Hi Cole,

The missing corners were worse than we had thought. It has been taking more work thru the week to build the layers, let them dry, add another layer the following day, repeat. We are expecting to have it back to our paint shop tomorrow to begin the paint process. You’ll be able to pick up the car tomorrow after lunch if you’d like it back while we complete the painting, or we can keep it until we are done? Just let me know one way or the other, Thanks!

Tim

I'm not sure what they mean by missing? probally that its not built up enough idk... but anyway I then asked when it would be done? I assumed late monday or tuesday since he said it was going back to paint. Their response...

I’ll be Wed. – Thurs.

Hopefully for your sake they don't bump the price up having to refiberglass in corners to the hood. If they add on the extra labor for all this it could become redonkulous. I understand the idea of perfection and the guys in the shop want it to be right, but good god this is starting to make ME worry for you.

He would have told me before he started reglassing it again. When it cam to giving me the price he was very good at calling me beofre they would start somthing but yea this is a bit redonkulous I should have striped it down and reglassed the corners myself I'm very good with fiberglass as I have worked on high peformance sailboats my whole life and make fiberglass, and carbon fiber repairs multiple times a year.
