amyb Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 if you have an issue, you might want to call your rep to see what that is and did it happen in transit. We do a complete check, the reps are on on the site regularly amy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intguys Posted June 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 It's definitely not a transport issue. the metal from the hinge is pushing upwards , the dimples are high on the hood rather than a low looking dent. It looks like the where the hinge meets the hood the hinge almost got over tightened and it crushed into the fiberglass. or the bolt is too long and is pushing upwards into the exterior of the hood. I don't think there is any way to fix without replacing the hood. Great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stpracer43 Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 Keith, This is not an arrival thread. This is a "Trying to get a problem resolved on a public forum thread". okay, won't argue the point except to point out the forum under which this thread was posted: Shelby GT500, 40th, SS & KR Arrival Forum Just trying to participate and wanted to see his SS... certainly hate there is an issue with it for sure. Posting a pic might help explain the issue and make the resolution easier. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGT2666 Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 That has to be a real heartbreaker, I'm sure SAI will fix it but it has to be disheartening to have go through this on your new baby. Hope it gets worked out quickly and easily... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vogon Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Umm, this is an arrival thread. It arrived, he wasn't happy, and posted so that other arrivals can be checked for the same thing. Pics would be good. What am I missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhb5150 Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Does anyone know if this hinge problem has been fixed? I would hate to spend 28k+ and have the hood damaged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
