When I ordered the hood for the truck from Suncoast creations I got the hood in a large box. It was wrapped in bubble wrap really well. There was alot on all the corners too. I was very surprised that it wasn't broken but it worked.

pack it up in a jumugous cardbord box, how suncoast, and all other major retailers ship them, but you must ship them freight.

WHen My ASCD hood came, it had plywood screwed to the back corners. I dont want to stress the paint though. Should I re-enforce the box with any wood or something? Maybe use old wooden palats?

I would suggest not post whoring to get your post count up. People usually begin to see their post count go backwards when they do that! First (and last) warning...

I would go ask some body shops around town. You would figure that they would have some boxes in the trash. Thats is what I am planning to due whenever I can get my hood sold.
