Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Re: Is anyone going to the Amo event in ohio this year?

   You have me thinking Eddie. I was going to enter my Gremlin in the display 
only class. What you are saying even though my the bottom third of my Gremlin 
is black primer with a red stripe on it with Gremlin in stick on letters. I had 
to do something to cover the bondo I have in the bottom of the doors. The 
engine has 30 years of grease and the air pump is disconnected that I should go 
ahead and enter it and let it me judged because who knows and who cares. I 
might just do that. When I go to the local shows I keep the hood shut and I 
heard more than one person say it must be a Gremlin X with that paint job.
