[BaadAssGremlins] Car Show Seasons

[Terry.Atkins@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Made my first car show Saturday. It is hard to believe it is here. My to do 
list over the winter is still my to do list. No new paint. The seats are not 
fixed and the engine is still dirty. Did get the seal around the back window 
put on Saturday. No big deal. I did have to take off the inside trim piece. 
Also put the hood insulation on. You would be surpised but that little piece of 
fiberglass does quite things down. Not much impresses me but this  first order 
I have got from Kennedy and it was quality parts. The Gremmie did get his 
yearly oil change and wax job Saturday. I think I am just warning you guys 
instead of seeing the newly painted Gremlin with the redone seat. I think you 
are going to see the needing a paint job Gremlin in July. It might have those 
bucket seats I have in the garage in it. Not AMC but high backs and the color 
matches. I don't think I could last the three house drive with the worn out 
bench seat.

That makes it all worth it, doesn't it? 'The Mix'

Subject: [BaadAssGremlins] Had a FUN day!

Hey all - I want to let you know that there is still *SOME* respect 
for AMC here in the South (Alabama at least)! I happened to drive my 
Gremlin by a mall parking lot and noticed a couple of radio station 
vans & some old cars parked around so I turned in to see what was 
going on. I got a free AC Delco car inspection and free entry into 
their GM High Performance Club car show. Not even having my car 
washed, I was hesitant to enter, but was encouraged by several club 
members. The judges were 2 men and one woman from AC Delco doing a 
promotion. The #2 NASCAR (real car) of driver Clint Bowyer was there 
too. I proudly pulled my little Gremlin in beside the row of 
Corvettes, got out the Simple Green and a rag, and cleaned a layer 
of crud off the engine and door sills before the judges came around. 
I thought I was in trouble when the woman judge said, "What is 
that?", but the 2 guys told her all about AMC, recounting their 
memories of the Javelin, AMX, and so on. Another nice surprise came 
at award time. I won the judge's choice award and was given a very 
nice laser cut 'Show Winner' plaque to take home in the Gremlin! I 
also met this lady from Montgomery who said she is building a 1974 
Gremlin up with a 360, etc. We exchanged phone numbers and I hope to 
get some advice & parts from her for mine. It really turned out to 
be a rewarding day, with so many folks stopping by with their 
comments about the car.  Dave
