Dave, Been following your progress, great work. As some have said, they are only original once, even with a 'back in the day' body repair. With the machine wheels, your AMX looks like a real time capsule. Hope you can continue to enjoy working on it and driving when you can. Remember, these cars required more maintenance than modern cars do, especially after sitting for so many years. You might try finding a body/paint shop that would re-spray your black shadow mask with a flat clear coat. That way you could keep the original paint and have a modern, UV resistant flat finish to protect it and it would look more correct. Not original, I know, but just my .02 cents. These 2 seaters are always about a compromise, but as you already know, there aren't a whole lot of them left, especially with the originality yours shows. Good luck and keep the pictures coming.

What he said. A flat clear-coat would be the ticket. Your car is a twin to one I lusted after on the showroom floor when I was 15. At that age I would have been just as likely to build a rocket ship and fly to Mars as to own that car, but it's great to see one in original condition all these years later.
