some, like me its economics. I dont have a great job, but still love 
cars. And if I already have an engine and can get my Gremmie going or 
have to wait a year or two to afford an AMC motor and let my Gremmie

motor, but everything so far either needs rebuilt, is already bought 
or I have to drive 2000 miles to get it. Anyway the club is a Gremlin 
club not an all AMC club, cut gary some slack. GREMLINMAN
