I dug out about 485 lines of text from the Archives CD which was John's feedback on the frame and floor repairs on the 1980 Spirit AMX with the bad rust problems. It is too much to post on this listserv so I will send it direct to whoever wants it. So let me know if you want it and the email address and I'll send this to you. I guess I'll send copy to Mark and Jesse right now. Depending on how bad the rust problem is... A project like this is generally too much time, trouble, and expense for the more ordinary AMC's but, you can read and decide for yourself. _____________________________________________________________________ Ralph Ausmann - Hillsboro, OR - > http://mysite.verizon.net/res79g4m/ <ralph.ausmann@xxxxxxxxxxx> - http://clubs.hemmings.com/classicamx ----- Original Message ----- From: <mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, March 11, 2005 5:26 PM Subject: Re: Front Sub rails replacement possible? > This would definitely need to be a labor of love! > John Elle did his wife's 79 AMX since she had bought it new. > He replaced all the front clip including the rails as far back as the go under the floor!
