I don't think anyone stocks new ones for Gremlin. It was only this year that the reproduction ones for AMX & Javelinm started being done. Nagarrasett Reproductions on my VENDORS list used to do them for 68-70 AMX & Javelin but was about $1100. Now price dropped as some of the big vendors stock them for abuot $250, which is what a good used original (68-70) still commands. I am not sure of fit, quality so can't comment until I actually use it.

I don't know if any of those Gremlins coming in will have a 'complete' harness, but would be happy to check next time I go over there, possibly next Saturday to change some tires again. I'll take machete also:
as there are I believe four in there lurking, along with three inch long Texas red wasps, scorpions, centipedes, crawdads, and whoa! There are three of my cooks from the bar also!

It's my understanding that James made a comment to the deputies that 'he
could take them out'. Granted, I was not there and you are looking at a 39
year old guy who had lost his wife 2 years earlier, also had lost his job I
understand, and the deputies where there to serve eviction notice, so was
losing his house too. I never saw a bad side of this fellow, always a big
teddy bear guy. Again one can only surmise what someone will do in
same/similiar situation give these circumstances above.
James was a chemical engineer and if he wanted.....he could have devised a
device easily that would have taken out Spring, Woodlands and northern 1/2
of Houston. He dealt with explosives all his life at work, so was schooled
in that and the press reported (and the media of course twists story) that
his experience in that field is what prompted the SWAT situation. At least
that is what was reported. Again, like the
polygamy situation in Eldorado
Texas you are only getting partial story.
Someone asked me if it was 'death by cop' no, it was not, and again, I was
not there so do not know. His dad told me that they shot him 11
times.....this was not reported in the press I may add. I have seen
crackheads and robbery & murder suspects in this town get tasered, not shot
11 times; and there has been 8 homicides in Houston in the last 8 days for
instance, quite a roll.
I probably have some photos of him at the Autorama, as he did win a 1st with
that 74 Levis 304 Gremlin, and I usually attended the awards ceremony and
would take photos of the local club members who trophied for the newsletter.
If I ever find that photo, will make 8x10 and mail it to his folks. And put
a copy of it on my site so people can see he was harmless.
On that note there is a letter from Iraq from a friend of his who could not
make
the memorial and had heard about James. Him & James rolled a butternut
304 p38 Gremlin years ago, off Rankin road, at 100mph with this fellow
serving in Iraq. The fellow in Iraq wrote a four page letter (to give to
James mom and dad) I will probably put on my site, really inspiring from the
pits of hell over there and makes one look at what is important in life like
family & soul, while sitting on outskirts of Baghdad.
Ya'll take care,
