Thanks Davis. Wait till you see it in person. I have to thank all my friends here at BAG and the AMX Files who have given me parts, sold me parts, put me onto parts on eBay for sale and elsewhere and helped me with the infamous Delco alt. swap. Without all of you people this car would not have turned out so nice. After the 11 months it sat in my friends shop while I completely did the interior after hunting and making parts for the previous year and the 5 months I had to wait for the upholstery shop to do just the seats it has turned out to be one good looking, comfortable driving car. I have driven it every day weather permitting since I got it back from my friends shop just before Christmas, at least 4 times week. The sun is out the roads are dry so and I am going to do my tuesday errands driving this car this afternoon to enjoy it. "Doc"

insert between the rear bumper and body. Luckily I got a set the same
color as the car from Davis last year in almost perfect shape so I don't
have to paint them. They did however need a little TLC to make them look
like brand new. A cleaning with prepsol, a polishing with Dupont course
orange compound, then Dupont fine white compound and then a nice waxing
with Mothers and they look like brand new. Of course doing the 3 pieces
that make up the rear filler took about 3 1/2 hours to clean up. I had
to get away from the last door sill I was working on even for just one
day. The car will go to my friends shop tomorrow to have t he filler
installed. Hopefully by the end of the week I will have the last door
sill finished. That is the last thing the interior needs to be finished.
Then it is onto cleaning up and installing the new front bumper filler.
Then next comes stripping and painting the 77 AMX fender flairs. The car
should be looking really good for the Ardsley show in late spring.
Finally after over 2 1/2 years of hard work and a bunch of money I have
somthing to show for it.
