[BaadAssGremlins] Re: Thinking of selling the Gremlin.

["hemmigremmie" <hemmigremmie@xxxxxxxxx>]

Schlitz beer n Judas priest!
We might have to do some partying one night Eddie!
As for the rear seat. Ive thought about that, but being tubbed out I 
just dont know were to put it??? Not much room back there for 
anything.
I guess I could put a bench seat back up front and customize a small 
single seat between the wheel tubs for when all 4 of us cruise??? 
Can it be done?
I'll post a few more pics of the interior on my Gremlin and see what 
you guys can help me think up. I'll post later when I add em to my 
folder. Thanks for the amped up intrest. You are making me really 
rethink this thru. :)  Rod.

It can be done and seems it would be the best of both worlds, you 
keep the car, and girls get to ride with daddy to cruise nights and 
car shows and watch people go 'cooooll!' when ya'll drive up. Only 
reason I mention this is years ago (aw hell, 1976) I had a nice 
little 70 Javelin but wanted a AMX. So I took out rear seat, cut 
seat hinges/bolts, took out seat belts, wooded the rear panel, then 
carpeted the whole area. Sort of a reverse of what I mentioned to 
you above. Best thing about this was I could put a lot of stuff in 
the back area like fat chicks. Or three skinny chicks. Or two 
monster coolers filled with Schlitz Malt Liquor for a beach run. Or 
lots of 8 tracks like Judas Priest, Bee Gees, April Wine, Styx, or 
all of the above.

Chances are they won't want to be seen near a Gremlin and have a 
restraining order on dad to keep his 'old car' at least 100 yards 
from high school. On the other hand however, they will be TEENAGERS 
and migth think that relic is the coolest thing since country gravy, 
pokemon, my little ponies, NIN and text messaging. So they will mud 
wrestle over who gets to drive it to school. Hey, again, they will 
be teenagers and emotions change hourly.

somethin gi have written about since the 80s. And it has gotten 
worse the past 7-10 years with record prices for steel, so we have 
lost so much old cars of any marque, and shuold you decide later you 
want another Gremlin or any AMC, might be difficult to even locate 
one in 10-15 years. Hell, ain't the easiest thing in 2005 trying to 
find 60s Ramblers and 70s AMCs.

nice speakers and modern radio in it so you can play some tunes the 
girls will want to hear; take the Britney out of one of their iPods 
and shove it in the new radio and watch their interest spark. New 
tunes, new radio, new speakers, new back seat and chances are, new 
interest in dad's old car.

Why not finish the Gremlin and take turns with the girls till you 
can get a nice Javelin as a driver? It seems awful to give up your 
dream. If you decide to sell it after it is done, atleast you will 
have completed it have the satisfaction of driving it and realizing 
your dream. Then you can sell, get more money and get a 4 seater to 
play with. Also think of when your girls are 16 and no longer want 
to ride arround with Daddy cause they have new interests....then 
what will you do?
