Here we go again!

A while back, we posted a survey to see if there was interest in having us offer a "Rolling Chassis" Rotisserie restoration for those of us who are on a tighter budget or those who just want to do more on their restoration.

We still offer the full rotisserie, nut and bolt restoration for a $25k MAX labor cost.

But now, for those who want to do their own power-train, interior and bolt-on's, we have decided to also offer the same high level of quality on the body and suspension for a MAX labor cost of $18k.

What exactly does this include?
What does AMCR do and what would the customer do?

Well, first the customer removes his engine, trans, interior, etc.

Then they bring the bare, rolling car to us. Or they can have have us come and pick it up. If the car is within 100 miles or so, we do this for free.

We'll pull all of the suspension and put the car on a rotisserie. Then we'll do all of the metal work, rebuild and detail the suspension and repaint the car with a show quality finish, inside and out.

Finally, we'll reassemble the rolling chasis and return the car to the customer.

The labor cost for all of the above will be $18k or less!

We'll still offer quality parts from AMD and Goodmark at great discounts to our customers, with no freight charges because we pick up the parts in person at no charge!

Where's the beef? It's coming right up in the form of a 1970 Road Runner convertible that we are doing for another Moparts member!

FYI, this one is coming in below the MAX because the customer is doing his own suspension even though we are doing the convertible top as an add-on.

Not too bad, huh? The wheel well cap tells the story of previous repair that "might" not have been done properly. Hmmm...

Actually, the owner is very well informed and knows what the car needs. He described it well via email and photos and now we are starting on the car.

Stay tuned. You might be surprised at just how much really gets done in this restoration.

My point exactly sixpackbee. To the untrained eye this car does look pretty good in photos.

We ask the right questions and give a fixed bid up front from the photos.

Progress photos to follow later today...

Not to rain on the parade.
just wanted to confirm - the $18K ( or $25K ) includes NO parts, or materials ?

Untrained eye eh. That car is close to mint compared to the stuff we have to deal with up here. Come to the land of the 6 month salt bath and see where the hours pile up.

You are 100% correct.

The prices quoted are the MAX that anyone will pay on labor only. So far, nearly all have come in lower.

You are walking right into my trap sixpackbee... I'm just teasing you, all in good fun.

The fact is that we will take your absolute worst, or anybody elses and our MAXIMUM labor price guarantee will still stand.

The before photos don't tell the whole story on this car but the owner knew what needed to be done. He sent us details about everything and we quoted him a fair, FIXED price, in advance.

I promise to post progress photos soon. I just have to get a few more things done first this afternoon.

Ok, here we go. The owner knew that the car had been hit in the left quarter and repaired improperly. He also knew there was rust in the trunk pan and previous repair on the right quarter that needed to be straightened out as well.

He wanted the car done right and he wanted it done for a fair, fixed price.

After seeing what we had done for other customers, he allowed us to give him a firm price labor contract and then he trailered his car over 2500 miles to have us do the job for him.

We're posting the whole job here, start to finish.
