[BaadAssGremlins] Re: Junkyard Gremlin

["jgray_55" <jgray_55@xxxxxxxxx>]

Paul. I could use some items for my 72 Gremlin.Does it have the wheel 
opening moldings / trim?  With/without the rocker panel moldings. I 
ask because the wheel opening moldings are  different in 
length...depending whether it has/does not have the rocker trim. I 
need a left front fender one(take a set if nice). Also..what are you 
wanting for the rear hatch?  What condition is the glass in...metal 
trim  also? How are the hatch hinges??Do you have a  lift cylinder to 
go with it? Would be good for a spare.My wife had a big Gremlin man 
decal (about a foot tall) made for me for my 50th birthday last week. 
I want to put it on a spare glass(easier to install on the inside 
when glass is out)Does the Grem  have the trim pieces around the seat 
release buttons on the seat backs? I need both sides. Can't the rear 
bumper with brackets un-bolt from the inside after the plastic trim 
is removed?..Kinda like the Javelins do? How straight is the 
bumper/brackets/chrome condition??? I'd be real interested. Are you 
coming to the AMC Nationals in Cordova Ill (Cordova Drag Way)?  Or 
have someone coming?  You can email me direct if you'd like.Thanks
