Re: [Amc-list] what color should I paint my car

I just realized I did not tag a price on that!
I'd figure with it painted nice in todays market you'll be bale to get 4-6K for it!

Don't cut or hack it, keep it stock in appearance with shiny new paint and all.

What model is it again?
Darn I wish I was close enough to come watch you build this! or even pretend to help!

I'd even try for the column shift etc, to all remain.
True sleeper style so as to attract the guys who aren't into bling and stuff.

Since your keeping it lowbuck I'd steer towards making it a stocker as possible.

As for 12's. I'll bet with the correct tires and traction plus a good rear axle you'll get there!

uh, I have a set of 15X4" studebaker wheels that accept Rambler dogdish caps.
I paid $60 for the pair. I'd be willing to send them off for that $60. I am going to use them eventually, but hey for something like that I'd let them go!
