Re: [Amc-list] eagle rear end HELP/ADVISE wanted

["Garry Nordstrom" <gasnordstrom@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Eddie:  I will be starting on my 79 AMX after I finish the scrambler,,frame 
off, big project.
The AMX front shock tower is in bad shape, so looking for compatible front 
frame clip to install on AMX.  would be nice to score on in the uppper 
midwest, I have searching around Duluth and nothing, actually most AMC 
bodies are very hard to find here.
Thanks  Garry in MN
