Yeah Guam or South America. They looked good.
It would've been nice to get a steel scoop. But for $1500, I figured the fiberglass scoop would work.
Yes, $1500 can't make sense against $400, but I understand the craftsmanship and materials. Fiberglass is laid molded for the most part and the metal still needs to be sourced, cut, break formed, stamped, drilled and welded.
I've never have but there are several here that have and seem happy with the product....the bitchin has gone WAY down (haven't seen a bitch thread here in awhile now and hope I'm not missing any) here and on other sites. I've dealt with Larry for years in the past where someone was bitchin and Larry would come and throw the blame at the customer. At another site where I was an admin, it was a common battle with him and could see the same thing happening on other sites including this one. I don't go to other sites all that much anymore but things have settled down quite a bit here with stuff like that. Also, I'm not seeing unhappy comments on his Facebook page but he most likely can delete any and all of that. Awhile back someone mentioned that he was fixing his molds (replacing?) and that's the biggest problem doing fiberglass.....using the same molds over and over and over.
I must admit though, the 1964-1966 Hemi scoop was one of the most handsome scoops ever made by Chrysler. They even brought it back into function with their 2021-2023 Demons. Can't keep a good design down.
Come on AAR, are you listening? Bring yourselves back with a good partner in tow. We're waiting.
Nope not from Unlimited. Mine came from Larry. And all what you said is exactly what I received. A piece of crap when received, a load of BS at time of order and then being all my fault for buying it. Yeah that will always rank number 1 for getting scarooed.
How long ago was that?
I had some AAR stuff in the '70s and it was great.
Wow, I didn't know AAR was around since the 70's. They are the ones with the best looking and functioning glass pieces so far.
That's why I like to buy at shows. If it's in my hands I know what I'm getting.
WORD!
Well, their website says they started in the 80's. I moved out of my old place in 84 and already had some of their products before that move so maybe they started in in 1980 or 81? I'm just going by what I was working on back then and was working on a 70 340 Challenger for drag racing and collecting parts. I got that car around 76-77 and started working on it in 78 once it was stripped down.
From my experience, digging deep into old posts and conversation with a few at that time, (in the case with the crook that stung me) it seems that the further away the product shipped the worse the piece could be. In my case over the northern border I’m sure what got shipped to me was pulled back off the scraps pile boxed up and sent. ;) I’m way over it and now it’s just a good story that comes up. Still got pictures of the crap! Hell I even had to build a jig using my steel hood for shape and contour so that when I laid that flimsy thing on top it would take the proper shape so that I could glass in reinforcement on the bottom side. Buyer beware.
From AAR or from Larry? Had asked when you got the lousy crap from him earlier in the thread. The AAR stuff I had years ago was great.
