When I had my AMX painted into (mind you, it looked good before), it was supposed to be delivered in 60 days or less and I was paying for nothing but materials as it was a "sponsor" by the body shop. It was completed in about 10 months and somehow the free labor was about $7500 or $10K total. At about the same time I had a restoration '70 AMX they did and had problems with the paint. They finally conceded there was a propblem with there paint and re-painted it (a week before the BJ auction it was in). Somehow there warranty work cost me $1500 and I thought it looked better before they "fixed" it. That car sold for about $10K less than it should have brought and I'm convinced the
paint was the majority of the problem.
The race car AMX received a "Best Appearing" Wally on the first time out so that was gratifying. But the "sponsor" name was no where to be found on the car!
And I sure wish I wouldn't have been so easy on grabbing my ankles, I could use that money to get my chassis / engine work on a fast track instead of a slow track!
