I like that. Nice job.

That's well done, although the 500 lbs of bondo might blunt the performance somewhat. I miss AMC. I'd give my left nut for a good condition Eagle.

I on the other hand, had a Levi Gremlin, and don't miss it at all! The the slant six engine that a lot of their cars came with was nearly unkillable.

I miss my gremlin. Could not kill it and I tried. My neighbor bought it from me.

AMC; any remember the short-lived TV ad, where son drives up in a heavily altered Javelin, to surprised parent?

"It's a great car Dad; I just made it better."

My 3rd hot rod ride was a built 67 or 68 390 AMX, 4:11's and four speed. Barely 16, we went to Orange County International Raceway for street car bracket racing, but the racecard was fuel altereds. Needless to say impressed, another vaccination into being a gearhead.
