Re: [gremlintime] Our Gremlins are multiplying!

Possible part source alert:
I don't remember where you're from, but I know of a junkyard in Waterford, 
CT (on Route 1/Boston Post Road) that had, the last time I looked, several 
Hornets and at least one Eagle 4x4. IIRC, a Grem & Hornet grille are the 
same, and I know the hoods are the same.

And I see I'm not the only nutcase here. =)

Well, last week I posted that we had brought home #4 & 5 gremlins. Norbert 
spent most of the day Memorial Day moving them all into formation to take 
pictures.

Wednesday, we got a call from our son. A friend of his (not knowing that 
Norbert & I were looking) found a Gremlin body that was in very good shape. 
Engine was gone & most of the interior has been stripped. What's left of 
the interior is deteriorated, seat covering & foam padding completely gone. 
He was wanting Randy to list it on ebay for him & try to make some big 
bucks. He decided that since it was a friend that was wanting it that he'd 
just let us deal directly with the guy selling it & gave us the number.

Norbert called the guy & went to look at the car. The body is in great 
shape but needs repainting. The grill is shot but bumpers & hood are both 
good. The guy is just wanting to get rid of some cars. He is in the Nash 
club & has several Nashes sitting out behind the barn where the Gremlin is. 
He told us that we could have the car for $50! Needless to say, #6 is 
coming home this week!

Then Saturday, a guy that we know calls. He found a Gremlin in good shape 
in OKC. He's going down later this week & will take pictures. We still 
need a good grill if we rebuild 2 cars. My grill is usable if we don't find 
one. It only has one crack on the driver's side but since we're going to 
all the work, we'd like to have a perfect one if possible. If we decide to 
rebuild 3 cars we need 2 grills & a hood.
