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.

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.
