Has anybody bought one of these? If so what was your experience? What was the quality of the fit and finish?

I haven't yet, but I will be purchasing the hood, front fenders and bumpers for my T-bolt clone '63 Fairlane. Those that I know that have gotten them have pretty much all said the fit and finish is great.

No man, not yet, I'm probably a year out or so as of right now. I've got everyday vehicle problems lately that I'm taking care of. I've got two vehicles with over 185k on them that are my everyday drivers (one is a backup to the other) and both are down right now. I'm also in the middle of a garage makeover to get myself more organized to work on my '65 coupe and my '63 Fairlane. I recently aquired some more shop equipment, a Whirly-Jig rotisserie and a floor height drill press. I've got a 40 gal. parts washer, a Miller 140 MIG, DeWalt Chop saw, and various hand tools. I'm hoping to get a 80 gal. air compressor from Tractor Supply around Christmas. The compressor is what's holding me up right now as I want to be able to seal any metal repair jobs I do right after they're done. I plan on media blasting both cars and putting them in sealer before I start working on them. I'll probably do them back to back even though I'll only work on one at a time. I have a neighbor that has a 600# pot and a trailer mounted diesel Ingersol Rand compressor that he uses to media blast stuff. He told me all I'd have to do is pay for the media and the diesel, but I think I'll buy him a nice gravity gun in addition to supplying the fuel and media for my ride as a thank you.
