Anyone hear of them before?? They just bought G&T Fiberglass. I was going to buy a hood from them since i heard nothing but great things about there hoods and also they were local. Now that this new company purchased them i was wondering how there quality is.

in the email I got from them they said they were going to be making the same things so I'd assume the products would be of the same quality.

Stephen

Are they REALLY a new company, or just G&T with a new name? Apparently, they are acting like G&T...not answering phones etc.

What a LOSER! Tries to pretend the company was sold, when he simply renamed it. I trust him even LESS now! Changed from a P.O. box to a street address...Big deal!

North Country

Hello,

My name is Jim with North Country Fiberglass. We do own the old G&T Fiberglass company and make the same high quailty parts that G&T used to. Along with the molds we also got the domain name and the web site. The reason George is still on the domain is because the account he had with the hosting company is good for another year so we are using his account. We will look into changing this over to us. As far as the phone we just opened up the automotive division of our fiberglass shop and set up new phone lines for this division. It took a little longer to get the system installed but everything is working fine now. George did inform us that G&T did not have the best customer service but I assure you we will do our best with our service. He said we might have a tuff time winning you guys over because of this. We will be working our hardest to get this done. We are going to be adding more to our automotive division so any ideas for other parts will be greatly appreciated. We are located in northern Vermont and our hours are from 9-6 eastern time. You can try us after hours and weekends. If you get a answering mechine please leave your info and we will return you call asap. Or email info@northcountryfiberglass.com

Thanks,

Jim

Stephen

I give you credit, Jim, for posting....HOWEVER...

North Country is registered to George as well, so I'm still suspicious.

If it is TRULY in the hands of new owners, which I still doubt, you'd be doubling your efforts not to continue with their mistakes, instead of continuing their lack of Customer Service,ie:ignoring emails, not answering phones, etc.

Seems like a person would ENSURE the phones were good, emails service, etc., was good, before "advertising" the new ownership.

I was discussing producing a Jongbloed hood for Firebirds, even Photoshopped two for him, with & without the vents, but George simply stopped communicating. I was willing to buy the first Jongbloed Pontiac hood, despite no pics of existing ones, etc.

It will take some effort to regain trust. Possibly 'Under New Opening/Grand Re-Opening' sale? A history ofg sales to people who don't know anything about G&T?

North Country

I did contact the web site place to see how to have it changed all over to me. I have to have George contact them to say he sold it to us. I talked to George yeasterday about it and he was going to call them asap. Can you send us the pics you made of the firebird hood. We are talking about making a mold for a cowl for the firebird. I did get a plug from G&T that was started, it was a cowl for the firebird but still needed work to be ready to make a mold from. George is working on a few molds that came with the sale of G&T and hope to have them in production by mid spring also. Maybe we can offer a discount to the third gen org people so we can get off on the right foot with them. I am going to spend some time looking through this site today to see what we can do to win over the comunity. We are new to the internet sales so any help would be great.

Thanks

Stephen

Why is George listed as the URL owner of North Country? If it is, in fact, owned by a Jim?

I can understand G&T still showing with George as the owner, but you indicated North Country has been around for years, yet the URL is registered to George?

it sounds too funny to me. When there were in Beacon Falls i could of drove there to pick up a hood and now they are in Vermont i dont know. I really like the cowl hood they have for the camaro but am a little warry about them.

North Country

The plug I got with the molds from G&T looks almost like that pic. But without the center line on it. We are thinking of adding two indents up front like the 93-97 firebird. right where you have the factory trans am grills. (up front) I did talk to George and he said he called homestead (website place) and put everything into my name. I have to give them my credit card info so they have it on file. Hope this will assure you that George Ostrom does not own our company. Let me know if you have any other ideas on the hood for the firebird.

Stephen

I prefer it without the center crease anyways. That was just a quick & dirty PS job. Don't think I'd be real crazy about the early indentions, who knows? I was thinking more along the lines of transferring my stock "grille inserts" into the Jongbloed style hood. And maybe, using the front 2 grill inserts as openings for a CAI/RAI, then the rear two could semi-function as heat extractors.

im going to order the highrise without center feet soon as they have them instock

84ls1_transam

I just ordered a 4th gen wing from them. Jim was very helpful and quick responding to my emails. We'll see when I get it. But I think they are lagit. Thanks for your fast responses Jim.

Snowblind

can you post a phone number and possible alternate? still have been unable to get in contact with you to discuss business.

Like I said I contacted him through email and he was very good about getting back to me. I never actually called them.

Stephen

My heart was set on the Jongbloed, and was going to settle for gthe ASCD RAI hood.

I think I'm going to give Northern a chance when the Pontiac Jongbloeds area done, and I'll report back with a HONEST review, not hiding my shame at wasted $$$. If I waste it, I'll tell you. If it turns out GOOD, I'll be honest & own up to a good product.

I'll let ya'll know.

So I got my 4th gen wing from them yesterday. Really good quality. The prep job for paint was as he said, ready for paint. They all seem to know what they are talking about there. It fits good. It's the real thing.

Stephen

Why did you choose Aftermarket vs an OEM 4th gen wing? OEM wings can be gotten for $100or less, all day long.

I can't find them for that around here for that. The only thing I have been able to is the whole hatch on ebay for $200 and $175 shipping.

jrs84ta

so whats the progress on the jongbloed hood being made, I really like the idea stephen had with the vents in the hood

Stephen

End of May, at the soonest. In conjunction with North Country, we came up with a different idea than the GTA vets. I was skeptical at first, but after Photoshopping it, I'm liking it even better. But no, I won't share the idea pic.

jrs84ta

ah come on, then i wouldn't know if its worth saving money for, or is it?

Stephen

It is. I was skeptical at first, until I got the Photoshop done.

Look at it this way...You've only got a month to wait, I've known & been waiting for over a month now!

Now, the May date isn't SET. Just the earliest expected date. Kinda depends on the work load they have going, and well the new design comes out. No guarantee the first mold will be acceptable. It might need revisions.
