[BaadAssGremlins] Re: AMO Internationals - Show Cars?

["lumina333" <lumina333@xxxxxxxxx>]

That's good advice. I have been debating whether to take my Gremlin 
or not - that is, IF it is even together & running by July. It 
probably will be a rolling chassis by next week or so (probably 
already would be except we decided to change the front brakes from 
drums to discs). It will probably be road worthy by June, but the 
body and interior is doubtful to be completed. Right now, my goal is 
to get it together, running, and road worthy enough to make it the 
120 or so miles to Atlanta under its own power. Tomorrow morning I 
will be going to the local junkyard that has several AMCs and will 
pull the front discs off either a Javelin, Matador, or Concord. The 
blue Gremlin doors are in the process of getting patched at the body 
& frame school. They should be done by next week. 

Should I even enter a partially complete car in the show or just go 
in it as an observer?
