I got another response from Roger saying that he now has figured out what has happened that caused the "bowing". He said that he recently had an issue with a ws9 hood having the same thing. He noticed the con-way driver setting the hood against the wall of the trailer with the top of the hood leaning on the wall and the bottom facing outside then ratcheting the hood in place. With leaving his hot shop to the freezing cold trailer it finished its curing inside the trailer and not where it should have on my car. He blamed the entire issue on himself and said he would be happy to make me a new hood at his expense. I ended up accepting the new hood even though I still feel very bad that he has to go through all this trouble but he is really a great guy to work with. I'll keep the updates coming when I get them.

Nice hood. I have emailed 2 different email account and also sent a message thru eBay and have not had a reply yet. This has been like 2 -2 1/2 weeks ago and still no reply. Glad you are having luck with him. I love his hoods maybe he'll return an email soon.

The reason he replies slowly is he lives out in the middle of no-where PA, where the only internet is via cell phone, and the cell service isn't great... oh and he spends quite a lot of time in the shop, so doesn't look at his phone a lot.
I actually drove out and picked up my hood, and talked with him for a solid hour or so. He's a standup guy, just not 'online' a lot because he's a one man crew.

I thought this would be a good time to finally bump this thread and give you all an update with my hood. Roger has finally shipped my replacement and should arrive next Wednesday. With the limited responses from him I found out my hood had been completed for who knows how long but he just couldn't afford to send it to me so I told him I would pay for shipping on the replacement. He does say he will refund me the shipping fees once he has extra cash to do so but I'm not holding my breath. I'm just happy its finally on its way. I'll be putting my current superhawk hood for sale local only for $200 to cover the shipping costs so if you are local your welcome take it off my hands. It would probably be fine if you use hood pins instead of the hood latch.
Anyways stay tuned to for an update on Wednesday when I pickup the new hood from the terminal.

If you were a bit closer I'd love to take the old hood off your hands. Hope everything works out.

Thanks! I could nit pick on a couple of things but overall it came out looking pretty fantastic! I learned that the placement of the hood latch greatly effects how the hood seats down, a few mm off to the side will raise up one side of the hood.
