Looks like a good hood for the money.. Why wont the guy fold the hood up, box it and ship it to you?? It shouldn't weigh close to 150 pounds, UPS would probably just charge an oversize rate on it..
You got me thinking, so I went out to the garage and grabbed half the old hood section I have here. It's separated at the center hinge (rusted out).
And weighed it, it's only 20lbs (lightened by some rust), so I would think the complete hood including the hinges and hardware will be around 45lbs., and 42"L x 24"W x 4"D for half section.UPS can easily handle this.
I don't know why he doesn't want to deal with shipping. That's his right I guess.
