With my son being in the USAF & "in the desert" I have the job of restoring his 68 Coupe that he bought right before he left. Well, I've been buying stuff & putting it on with no major problems. I've replaced the stock cam with a hotter one, exhaust, prepping the body for paint after adding the side scoops for a Califorina Special I bought the Eleanor hood as he requested. After putting the hood on & finally after two days of pondering about trimming the hood to fit (which makes it MINE) & getting it right I send him email to show it off. He emails me back from Kuwait to tell me I've BOUGHT THE WRONG HOOD!!! I sent him email pics of it on the car. I think NO at 1st, then go to a site that I know has Eleanor on it & SURE enough I've paid over $600. for the wrong hood! What am I to do? I email him with my shame & tell him I'll buy the CORRECT hood, as I did today... He wanted to know if there was anything we could do other than buy another one & eat the wrong one. I told him not to worry about it. It was MY mistake & I'll buy him the hood he wanted. BTW, he's paying for all this with his weekly checks.
Talk about really messin' up! I felt sick all the next day. But I ordered the CORRECT hood this morning & he called today & I explained everything.
That will knock ya down a notch or two!
