I am helping my friend, Tim Fix from Lake Orion, Michigan, who is the missionary.  He has need for a Bus for use at their mission in Guatemala.  A road bus (touring bus) with luggage storage is preferred, for transfering missions teams (and their luggage/stuff) around the country.
   
  If you have a bus or know of one that might be available somewhere, please email me back at amundaza@xxxxxxxxx
   
  Also, if you have other options besides a touring bus, please let me know.
   
  Thanks for all the help!
   
  And now for the obligatory AMC/Jeep content ...
  I have a Milodon Oil Pan, swivel pickup, external oil line and oil pump spacer kit available for sale.  Great shape and pan has been powdercoated aluminum-silver.  Extra tap and one fitting is included to convert to a dual line system.  Anyone interested, please email me back at amundaza@xxxxxxxxx .... thanks!


Sincerely,
Greg Taylor  :)   <><

Well, I made it! Been here a couple days now. If anyone sent me a
message to my personal e-mail, I haven't been able to get into that yet 
(can't from the computers at work). I imagine I have 200+ messages
(150+ spams...) to clear out of that now! Anyway, I'm safe after 47
hours of trip time. Will keep the list posted. I know it's not AMC
related, but enough people on here know me and may like the news. If
it's a bother just say so! I'll get a few pics of the various AM
General prodcts driving around though... ;>

Bob, there are no vent window gaskets available that I know of. Contact 
Metro (http://www.metrommp.com/) and get a catalog. They MIGHT have
something from another car that can be modified to fit if yours are
just shot. I spray mine with liquid silicone at least yearly, it seems
to keep them pliable. They don't seal as good as new, but are fine for
rain. The pressure washer will get past them, and a little wind noise
if the wind is blowing just the right direction and speed. 

That vent window gasket will fit all 63-66 Marlin, Classic, Ambassador; 
and should fit all 63-64 Americans (not sure about 65-69). I know the
doors will interchange with 63-64 Americans (except for the outer
skins). That's enough coverage that Metro might be persuaded to start
making vent window gaskets, but I doubt it. 

For the door and trunk gaskets, and window seeps, contact Peter Stathes 
(www.amcrambler.com). He has kits for all. You can match the door and
trunk seals from JC Whitney, and can get the window sweeps, but you
can't get the window sweep clips from JCW. Peter isn't much more than
JCW on the seals, especially after shipping costs are added. For a few
bucks more you get better service. Peter also does locks and vac wiper
motors.

It's a bug somewhere. Some messages (even the ones I send that way) are 
getting hung up due to an addressing bug. I'm not sure how to fix it.
Right now the list software is just putting those messages on hold
until released by an admin. So it just doesn't go out until one of us
get time to go in and release them. With me in Afghanistan now, Tom has 
to do it all, so it takes a couple days sometimes. I will be able to
get on sporadicly. If it's any consolation, messages I send through the 
GOV computers do the same thing.

<snip> places with ovens to bake-cure the paint in. they can't give it a 
really hard
bake unless you strip everything nonmetallic off, but even what they can 
do gives
you a better, more durable finish. <snip>

This is actually something I've meant to ask a real auto paint 
specialist...  Because I
don't believe that it's true of modern catalyzed  and epoxy finishes.   
These finishes cure
by cross linking into long molecule chains.  If the temperature is too 
high, they cure too
fast, resulting in shorter molecule chains and are weaker because of 
this.  If the temperature
is too low, then the reaction doesn't happen at all, and it never 
cures.  In any of the industrial
epoxies I've used, there is an optimum cure temperature range, for 
strongest results. 

What I don't know for modern paints is -what- that temperature range is....

I know some shops use ovens, not to produce a better job, but simply to 
speed up the
drying time, so they can shoot a couple of coats and get the car out in 
a hurry.

Cheers,

Dave

Oregon and Washington area AMCers; My Mom wrecked her
Buick a couple of days ago. She needs a "grandmas
car". Anyone got anything? All my rigs are 2-drs and

all offered. Call me in Oregon at 503-589-9845. i can

I'm glad there is n't any bad stuff about MAACO. Their
paint jobs are very presentable, the top one anyways,
if all the trim is removed and the car is in good
shape to begin. I have never had them do body work,
just shoot some paint. Wet sand and buff it out
afterwards and it is a good paint job, though i am
sure not by Legendaries standards.....Russ

I think the problem only happens to people who post from AMXfiles.com. 

There's still a lot of confusion between

	* the mailing list

	* AMXfiles

They're not the same AT ALL. They are on different computers, 2500 miles
apart.

When you post to the list from www.amxfiles.com (AMClist ONLINE), that's
Jim's site. When you post from there, when you click SEND, behind the
scenes it cobbles up an email message that is sent to...

... AMC-list.com, which runs the mailing list, which is EMAIL. EMAIL is
a totally separate service from the WorldWideWeb though (confusingly)
there are systems -- like Hotmail, AOL, AMXfiles... -- that convert
email to www and back.

I had reasonably minimal work done at a local body shop. $2000 for body
work and paint, two colors. It's definitely not show quality; there are
a few things they missed. I removed all the trim, bumpers, etc. Overall
it's probably "MAACO quality" -- I got good, but minimal, work. 

I'm happy with it. I would have loved a $5K job, but it took a year to
get $2K free, and I want to drive the damn thing!

Same people did our other Hornet, over a year ago, no problems there.
Similar price. Both are daily drivers -- I've put 16,000 miles on my
Hornet since last June.

 This 1964 330 American Wagon is a 34,000 mile car. Engine is out of the 
car. My husband John bought this car many years ago as a fun project. This 
little cutie is nice inside. All glass is good. Original body moldings are 
super. Body is very straight and solid. Floors and rails are super nice. 
This car would be such an easy car to freshen up. It was always kept in 
inside storage. CAR NEEDS: Front bumper rechromed, front seat repadded and 
covered and a hood emblem. Three hours dent lower rear left quarter panel.
