Does he sell AMD? I hear they are not available yet.

He sells AMD and Goodmark.  Not sure what is available from whom but he will certainly know.

All the metal work is just about done.  There were several small spots around the car.  Bottom of pass door, lower tail behind bumper, small holes in trunk and an aftermarket pass rear quarter that was put on in 86 needed some work at the door jamb.  the fenders and the hood I wanted to use need to many hours to be worth while so we are waiting for the AMD stuff to come out (with my fingers crossed).  They are going to strip the paint next.  If we have to wait on the sheet metal, there is plenty of other parts to spend my budget on.

Welcome and nice car. My car was Tawny Gold. Do you plan to return it back that way? Mine had the green vynil top. Was yours like that too?

Hi, Awesome car. :drool: I love the original color combo the car was from original :bigshades: Have you given any thought to doing it in the Citron Yella but keeping the Gold Interior ? The two colors would work really well together, and it would be unique :2thumbs:
