I’m looking for advice on shipping 56 Chevy fiberglass fenders and hood from the Philly area to Colorado. Anyone here have experience with Greyhound? Other ideas?

Greyhound is pretty good. They just shipped a Dana 60 housing(95 pounds) and the internals(80 pounds) to TX for me. Took 2 days and it was right at $200. I think the weight is the reason it was so pricey but they did a great job and were quick. Not sure if the hood is too big for them or not. Fedex Ground is also more reasonable than some think.

Also try unishippers.com (http://unishippers.com) too.
You call them and tell them the size/weight,and what exactly it is and where coming/going.
They put the word out to truckers nationwide,and luckily any interested w/room to spare while on another delivery,& traveling that same route will submit a bid back to unishippers.
If you tell them to deliver to a business,it's much less.
You also have the extra cost option of requesting an electric lift tailgate or not.
It's worked great for me in this day & age,and let's the trucker usually pick up some side money for gas,while on another delivery.
There are ALOT of shippers out there that really want/need your business today,so rates are very competitive right now..
