Very Nice. Now you are insulting our friends to the North. Stop the name calling. We try to stay as pleasant with each other as possible here. Relax. I don't know about the rest of you, but I will never open a thread started by 68cuda416 again.

I'm in agreement. That's what the ignore list is for.
 
Why must you be...such an angry young man...when the future looks quite bright to me...
Name the band and the song....
 
There are some days that my version of restored is ....hosing off the dust, cobwebs, and dirt daubber nests!! But I am fresh out of 68 Darts! But I ain't selling any grills!!!
Dad said " Sometimes, so, ya gotta take ya horse trade f***** like a man and just move on"! Or........ It would be..... Sorta like buying a 68 Charger restored grill for $400, ya gotta wonder what restored really means!?
 
I had and sold a NOS 1968 Dart grille complete with both head light bezels and hood trim, all was in a trunk of a car since 1974 in original boxes, sold it all on eBay about 15 years ago for $1400....the paint was far from perfect and it was in beautiful mint condition. The paint wasn’t a perfect 100% match between the bezels and grille but close, and that’s how they were made, they were just regular cars back then.

You can never have a grille and bezels restored from different places, the paint will never match, they must be painted at the same time for that result. You should have asked for more pictures, and if you didn’t then it’s on you. Also if you didn’t try to let the seller make it right before you posted then that’s also shitty.

That grille was a good deal and looked nice, maybe not perfect but dang nice. If you are looking for perfect or NOS then you had better ask more questions and get more pictures before you buy....in the original ad you can see it’s not a perfect restored grille.

How is speaking the truth an insult?.......are they not a socialist country? Since their emperor has had them on lockdown for the last year plus the people that I know that live in Canada all tell me that they basically live out of their basement......

Wow, your ignorance precedes you.!
We don't have an ''Emperor'' we have a Prime Minister.
On a lockdown for a year?
Hardly.
Who are these people you know in Canada that ''Basically live out of their basement'' and where do they live?
What is their education level and age group?
I can assure you that is not true for 99% of us.
And as for us being a ''Socialist Country'', that is partly correct.
Sadly, there is nothing I can personally do about it..........

How about you grow up and do some research before you type things especially on major facts.
Contrary to what you may believe, your Country isn't perfect either.
None of them are.........

How did you think people will react to your comments.
You remind me of an entitled kid that cries when he doesn't get his own way also known as a snowflake.
Stop being a whiny little tit and buck up for an N.O.S. grille etc. for your ''perfect'' car.

How about some pics of this work of art that we all can drool over?

I have lived on the Canadien Border for a great many years, I have played more hockey on the northern side of that line than I care to admit. I have so many life long friends there I could not count them. As a US Marine I am as Merican as they come! My roots are in Deep South. My dog sheds like a maniac and I am a fashion icon, see picture. I can have a toddy or two and sleep on the floor with the cats at Robs place wearing my bunny slippers! In similar fashion there have been more FABO guys in my shop than I can name. Once this post started brushing a entire nation with untrues it bordered on silly. I stepped away. Like so many previous posts have explained this is just not the place for that kind of stuff. Move on young Sir. And let’s see some pix of your car, she sounds like a beauty.

Is that your new sledding hill? Last time I went through Fargo, that would have been the highest point around! :lol:

How old are you son? We who live in the USA live in a socialist country and you should damned well be proud of free public schools, Social Security and Medicare, public lands where we can hunt, fish and hike, etc, etc.

So IF the 'damage' occurred during shipping, he has every right to suggest that you contact the shipper for satisfaction. As for the misunderstanding between the two of you over the definition of 'restored', I would say that you share equally with the result of the transaction. It doesn't sound to me like he deserves to be called stupid.

This is the one point where I agree with the OP - I know what the shipping company will say - "how do we know it wasn't broken when shipped, it's a 50 year old used part!". It was the seller who was responsible for packing and padding the grille so that it arrived undamaged and in my experience it's the seller who has to make the claim since they paid to insure the package.

I bought a " restored " grille for a '68 Dodge Dart GTS off of a member here a couple weeks ago and received it yesterday.......well ofcourse the little grill sections are broken on it all across the top, not sure if the drooling gorillas in the shipping industry did it or it was already liked that. Secondly when i consider something restored I am thinking it is restored back to the way it came from the factory and not whatever color or texture or lack thereof of paint quality.......has smooth silver paint instead of a textured feel argent, the black paint is not crisp and it just was put on all willy nilly like maybe Ray Charles did it. I really should not be surprised because in general people dissapoint and in all honesty I think most people either wouldn't care or are too stupid to notice that the grille is a huge POS!!!!!

Never expect a perfect restored grille for $300. In my opinion, your best bet is to buy used as cheap as possible, then send it to someone who restores grilles. That way the job gets done right, and if you're not happy with the restoration, have them correct any flaws you see before payment.

You are correct, but the seller could have stated it as an amateur attempt also......oh well water under the bridge now. I will send a couple grilles and bezel sets out and get them professionally restored as that is the quality that I want for my cars, I just went through this same thing again a couple days ago with a restored steering wheel that was supposedly done by an expert that only does wheels.......it too is a POS and I will have to send that out to an actual professional and not someone who views themselves as such.

I feel for you brother. We sound alike. I am meticulous and like things to be to perfection. I don't like buying things before seeing them with my own eyes. Online sellers know what a hassle buyers have to go through when they're not happy, so they don't care, they know it's a done deal once they're paid.

send it back
 
That won't help.
You have to pay to ship
Pay to insure it.
then the seller will say it wasn't damaged when he shipped it, and it's not his problem.
Have professionally restored, and chalk it up to a lesson learned.
End of Story.
 
This reminds me of an internet date I had, got to the bar area of the restaurant and she was sitting behind the high top table facing me. She was gorgeous looking with a nice chest. Only when she got up to get seated did the bubble butt that was HUGE show itself! Lesson being, always get a detailed description and a lot of high resolution pictures. It cost me dinner and drinks…at least you got something out of it!

I don't have a Facebook account for a reason.
I thought this was a place to talk and get help about Mopars?
What a ridiculous thread.
Over and Out..
