Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Found the last one.......

Thanks Doc! I did find a good Hornet today and I got a bunch of parts off of it!! Its a 4 door SST, 1972, 258 inline and I have a good question for ya. I found the original AM radio and its got a spiders nest in the face of it. HOW IN THE HELL DO I GET IT OUT??? LOL!! I guess I could take it to a shop and have them tear into it and clean it up, but that costs money and I know those guys arent cheap. I guess I could try to clean it out, but thats like trying to send me to mars in a home made rocket ship! I'd be kind of lost in space. LOL! I also got the whole dash part that holds the speedo and gauges. I need to use the windshield wiper switch and I need to figure out how to get the knobs off so I can take off the main part of the dash. I got a complete set of hub caps, all four in excellent shape. Are the hub caps stainless steel? They did clean up really nice, but the paint that goes in the indentations on the outside of the cap is gone. Easy fix there. I also got a bunch of small parts and I am going up to get the rest of the dash here in the next couple of days. I will need it for my Gremlin. If your in need of any parts let me know and I will see if there is what ya need. What I dont need or want your open for them. Anyone here is open to them as far as that goes. The car only had 59,000 original miles on it. The auto tranny is still in it also. I even got the turn signal lamps off of the grille. It had been sitting in the back window for god knows how long and being a 72 its plastic, and it just fell apart! I could not believe how brittle that gille was. Its got some good fenders also. The headlight buckets where shot all to hell which was kind of a bummer. I am in need of one. You are right about the getting lucky Doc and I am willing to share the wealth with anyone here. Bill Id. OH YA! All the parts I got today cost me a whole 20 bucks! Its mouse free also. :)=

Nice find Bill on the tail light lenses. A lot of that old stuff is still around in old AMC dealers that don't even know they have it and are glad to get rid of it for a fair price. You just have to get lucky at times. "Doc"

I think anyway... I called my local AMC dealer. LOL!! They now sell Subarus and I think Jeeps. I called for kicks a giggles to see if they could locate a pair of N.O.S. tail lights for my newly aquired 70 Hornet. Low and behold, "ROLL ME IN SHEEP DIP AND COVER ME WITH BLOW FLIES"!! The parts guy "found" ONE right side tail light, and a hole butt load of left ones. At 41 bucks apiece I thought wasnt bad considering the price for one on EVILBAY! Headed up today to "look" at an old Hornet. I am in need of some parts, well, not me.... the car is! RAPE AND PILLAGE HE-HE!! (long evil laugh!) Bill Id.
