@thedrunkenturbo Жыл бұрын
Hey Sami Glad to hear your also building a car. As for why I went with AMD. Over the years, I've used some OER stuff. Fits ok. Went with AMD because I had them drop ship 4k of parts at my door. So I had one big order and shipping costs were factored in. Shipping from say , classic industries was pretty high just for the parts I got (something like 500 dollars vs 350 for a pallet of parts from AMD So yeah. Shipping costs were the major factor going with AMD

I’m always glad to see guys replacing the entire panel rather than cut it along the body line and that’s twice the work for what? Saving a couple feet of original metal? There’s very few people who can do it successfully without major warping and using a lot of filler to correct it. I do a lot of side work and there’s a lot of shops trying to hire metal guys like myself because “ we’re a dying breed “. With every panel you do you get so much better at finding ways to make them fit and get faster. A guy can make 2-6k extra a month from his garage by doing quarters and floor panel replacement. We need to keep these cars on the road! Love your work keep it up buddy you have my support

Hey Jason! I agree. That's why I went with the whole panel replacement versus patching. Time = money and a better finished result imo. That and I kinda suck at putting patches in like that lol.
