-Damn Davis. GOOD to hear from you!!! Was getting worried with no
posts from you!! Glad things are working out for you!! AMC
content...Have collected more parts for my Gremmies in the past year.
Also i now own FIVE 72-73's. A couple are a little rough BUT are
factory V8 3 speed X cars.....so worth restoring. The rest of 2008 has
sucked. Lost my Dad,uncle,brother inlaw and nephew in a two month
period. SOOOOO 2009 has GOT to be a vast improvement. I'm almost done
hooking up the furnace in my garage so i'll be getting BUSY on the
wife's 74 AMX suspension swap,rear ens swap,engine/ tranny
re-install.. .etc...and my 401 73 Gremlin project along with planting
the 360 into my green 72! Later....Joe- - In

for thinking of me I have been
spending lots more time with family and getting caught up on bills and
such this past year. I have not been doing too much AMC wise on the
computer. I went way overboard the past 3 years. To think 5 years ago
I didn't own an amc or any parts now I have 6 garage bays full.

thru the AMC internet venues last year but put it on Craigs list and
it sold for 850.00 in less then a week.

new alt, new reg and still no charge.

in a garage for it.

sell it after playing with it for a few weeks.

garage waiting much needed work. I have to
pull the motor n tranny. Motor, cause I have to replace the oil pan
with the new one I have, I need to clean and repaint the block, I want
to powder coat the pulleys, and the intake, I have new billet mirror
polished valve covers for it too. I Have a tranny leak to fix. It is
leaking where the hose connects. Then I need to rewire the cooling
system. I have it all hooked to one switch ATM. 3 electric fans and
the water pump. They need separate circuits.

new slicks but still need to have them mounted. I need better offset
rims though.
