Good to hear you had a great experience with the shop.
They are not a restorations shop for sure only body panel replacement. The truck that Clay took down has been sitting in his shop for months, lol. He is using it for fill in only.
Graverobbers had a difficult time getting it back where it needed to be after the first shop screwed up the job. They had to cut the new cab corners back out and take sections out and move lots of things around to get the doors to align. They did a decent job Clay was happy he did not have all the rust, grinder grit and slag all over his shop. They did plug weld everything and the bed sides just bolt on so no problem there.
Too bad AMD does not do mustangs. They are a classy shop for metal replacement on GM and Chrysler and they make the panels. They spot weld the panels they have the really expensive computer controlled spot welders that allows them to do that legal. No drilling MIG or TIG just some tacks and then spot weld like the factory on JIGS built for the vehicle.
Will see some of their work on a 67 Camaro that Clay is doing next. Will have every panel replaced except the firewall / cowl where the VIN# is located. He is shipping the car down and back and not even going to visit or check on their work. You don't have to.
He is just getting a 67 Pontiac Firebird HO in primer right now after full pan, trunk, quarters, inner and outer fenders, radiator support and rust repair around the windows. He wishes he had sent it to them to do.
Clay has a two man shop so when someone else can do the metal work cheaper than he can that is a real cost savings. He sends the vehicle and marks up the cost 15% and still cheaper than he can do it.
When you go to any shop to get work done if they say 8 weeks figure on 16 weeks. Everybody hits issues not seen and has to have more time. If you are on that tight of a schedule you are in trouble, lol.
