Thanks to Mike, another AMC enthusiast here in the valley of the sun I now have 2 replacement bumper extensions for my Spirit. Yes, rust is a commodity that does not prevail in the area, but UV will take it?s toll on anything plastic or rubber and the passengers sides had not only rotted badly but as they were also hit in parking lot incidences there were cracked and beginning to fall apart. The replacements are o.k., no physical damage per say and will require some cleaning to look good at 5 feet which may be the best I can get out of them, but maybe not too, they are even still a bit flexible instead of fried into partially compacted rubber dust. Started to clean them up to day and then got side tracked. Maybe I can finish tomorrow. Would have gone to Ecology (the pick a part yard ½ price sale day) except that it rained today. A whole .04 inches. This should bring us to a yearly total of something under 6 inches. But it does not take much wet to turn desert dust into impassable gumbo! Lets see what tomorrow brings.
