[OPGI]

Hey guys and gals. I’ve read all of the bad reviews about OPGI over the years but have had a positive experience with them until now. They have been shipping the hood and cowl kit that I ordered on 9/10/23 piecemeal and attempting to charge me full price plus shipping for each of the items as they come in. Besides that they have also cancelled an item from the same kit because I didn’t reply to their email quickly enough and their CSR told me that they were not mind readers.

Happy New Year !  I am looking for an overdrive trans for my 72. I had planned on changing over to a 4 speed manual , but due to a recent left knee injury am reconsidering.

I stopped at the car 3 times over a couple of hours and never saw the owner so I didn’t get a chance to ask.

Sorry for the vague description. The inner fender well is the problem, not the blower motor.
