OK - lets' try this again ...
Regarding the request in the ' Look Out fir This ' feature of the BaadAssGremlins Grp. :
You should check for that '77 AMX front air dam at the above address .
If he doesn't have it 'Right Now' - tell him that there are a few people looking for this one piece front air dam - as after '77 they were Two Piece - since AMC got complaints that if an owner snagged on something - it would tear up both front fender well flares - and - if the car was run upwards of 80mph + , it messed with those same flares etc.
Franks does have a *nice* FiberGlas hood for the Gremlin / Spirit cars - comes with the 1970 AMX scoop .
This is a "pin on " hood - not a bolt on , which will run $500.00 and change.
The pin on is roughly$225.00 .
"Trick It" :
Take a die grinder and grind off the edge - all way round - of a spare hood , allowing the removal of the metal skin .
Now take that pin on skin and a Marine FibreGlas boat patch kit and Glas that skin to the metal superstructure.
Get some Balsa Wood strips - to brace the hood skin areas with- Glas those in.
Pattern should look like > * - a sorta' star pattern .
You can get Balsa in 3/4 inch or thicker 'boards' at a hobby shop or online.
Thanx Brien for the info i may try this on my hood
