    Just received a message from FNG HAMBER jamesH551 saying to contact him about the 1941 Mercury hood I am looking for. A look at his HAMB info. shows he's in the UK.
    Could this be a potential rip-off. Wonder what it would cost to ship a hood from the UK? He gave me the following phone number to call. +447024087073

    Does his pm say almost exactly what you posted? If it does its a scam. I've had 2 different uk guys reply to my wanted ads here.

    Hi guys

    im a member from the uk, you will be very surprised just how many owner / cars are here, Now im no scammer and ive lost out on so much stuff just because im from the uk hence meaning it could be a scam,

    If you like i could call the buyer to see if hes for real.

    I posted a wanted ad here for a 55 chev bonnet,i guy from the US sends me an email and tells me he has one for$300,he hounds me for a weeek to send him the cash,i asked for a pic and never heard from him again.There's no way he'll have a 41 Mercury bonnet lying around to take a pic of.
     
  8. Did you try calling the number?

    Dial 011 before the number above....

  12. Use a CALLING CARD!!! If that was the ONLY thing I learned by having a Mexican girlfriend, it would be enough.

    It IS a UK number (or at least the phone code is correct), so the usual applies: does it sound too good to be true??

    Yes??

    It is. So it isn't worth your time.

  13. You know its not 1962 anymore right?

    International calling is cheap! Or ask a uk guy to call from over there!

    Jeez

    19fordy i live just down the road in hollywood . have you ever heard of creative workshop in dania beach? seems like they could make a hood from just a pic. even if the guy in the uk was legit, thnk about the cost of shipping, time and what happen' s if it arrives mangled how would you handle that. if you can't find creative workshop online let me know and i'll get you the number

    Old car city in white county Georgia, call them I will bet they have one. Shipping from the uk will cost way more than the hood is worth.
