I'm buying a hood from someone on TGO, but were havin a bit of a problem getting it packaged right, Greyhound said theyd ship it for pretty cheap. He tried to get a old box from one of the local chevy dealers but no dice. Any suggestions? (wasnt sure where to post this)

 

The closest thing your going to find is a big screen tv box...It wont be perfect and youll have to cut the sides off and use other boxes to build around it but it can be done with alot of tape, boxes and patience.

 

Another method would be to build a cheap wooden frame around the hood (use the 2nd rate 2x4's that lumber shops sell cheap since they don't look good), then cover it in cardboard. Wrap the hood in bubble wrap before putting it in the frame, to prevent scratching.

 

Good ideas guys, many thanks.
