Re: [Amc-list] CC/Rambler

[Jock J JocewJ Jocewicz <namdra@xxxxxxxx>]

Frank and all,
  You stated them list and AMC Forums for expertise but you forgot to
mention the international, regional and local AMC clubs that have plenty
of members (not all AMC'ers are on AMC lists, forums) that have
performance expertise! Take NAMDRA for instance, we have a whole lot of
members that could of did a much better job of building the CC/Rambler.
If you don't believe it, just attend one of the AMC NATIONALS!
