Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Cool View AMC see-thru thermostat housing

I had one of those cap on my 66 GTO that I drove in High School Wise I had that car back, paid $650.00 for it in 1970 and drove it for 2 years than traded it in for my new 72 Gremlin X 304 3 speed with PS, PB and AC. After the trade in I paid $2100.00 for the Gremlin. I spend a year trying to find my orginal car, and gave up, that why I am currently building my Gremlin to lookmy orginal but what I would have added to it back than if I had the money. I am only using speed parts that were advaiable back than. The only thing that isn't correct are the heads, I'm using a set of edlbrook heads.

I have an old style see thru 13 inch TV, It came from a female inmate that served time in a Kentucky prison. They can have their own TV but they have to buy it though the prison system for an inflated price. They found with the regular ones with the black cases the inmates were hiding drugs, weapons and anything you can think of inside the TV's. This one has a clear case so you can see all the inside workings and the guards could see that nothing was inside the TV, It is pretty neat.

Not mine but I think these are way cool:http://www.coolviewthermostat.com/products/long story here, will condense it, years ago my late dad got ahold of a clear see thru distributor cap and put it on the 70 big badblue Javelin I gave him for 61st birthday. We could watch that thing for hours, and what was funny as a number of gearheads I hungout with stopped by and of course, everyone ended up buying them for Bel Aire, Roadrunner, Biscayne and GM truck to name a few, Idon't remember what the manufacturer was of the see thru distributor caps but high cool factor.So I go into Best Buy a few weeks ago and noticed they sell a clear, see thru computer, so you are looking inside at all the littlebells, whistles, cpu, drives and what not, me & the boys thought that was also way cool. Not cool for $500, just cool to gawk at.Eddie Stakes713.464.8825eddiestakes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxwww.planethoustonamx.com
