Not sure about business being gone but I think his wife is running it.
I got my ground effects from them, will buy from them again, if they are
still around.

I am wanting to get the DaytonaII hood for my 81'. I emailed them a couple of weeks ago on a shipping price and with a couple of other questions but never did get a reply. :confused: I'll have to call and see what's up???????????

You can use either of the links above to contact Vanacors

I got an L-88 hood from them 3/4 weeks ago and the fit is excellent. I will post pics after I get it back from the body shop.
I also have a rear bumper coming from them that I hope is here by Saturday

i know this is an old thread...but i ordered a hood from these people over a month ago, and it hasnt shown up yet. I have had to file a complaint with my credit card company to get the money back, because the people will not answer calls, or return emails. This place is pretty much the worst business ive ever dealt with.
