1970 Amc AMX glue bomb

Just picked this up at my local hobby shop. They just bought a collection off a couple that had no interest in models. Not sure how they got a hold of them. Anyway., grabbed some pictures of it prior to throwing it in the purple pond. Gonna be a long process. It appears a though it has been painted a few times. I can see some blue under the yellow. The chassis is junk, not sure what to do with the engine. The body is very brittle. The cowl panel has fallen out just looking at it.

Other than the Chassis it looks like you have a nice clean rebuilder there.

You are lucky those rear wheel openings look stock, they often get hacked.

Is your plan bone stock or some level of custom/hot rod?

Looks like the original builder spent some time working those headers.

I would say you have a good one there not bad at all the fact that the glass came out and it was not glued in with a tube of glue puts you 5 steps ahead very workable the chrome can go to be rechromed and the rest is slow rebuild time.

I agree with everyone else it doesn't look to bad and looks like a easy rebuild.

My plan is to go back to stock or "Day2" appearance.

After letting the body sit in my stripper, the body has cone out fairly clean. Down to bare plastic. Looked like it may have been painted 3 times, blue, a green and the mustard yellow. I see some body damage on the driver side front fender I will need to tend to as well as gluing in the cowl panel and fixing a cracked passenger side a post

I've heard that the S/C Rambler chassis works for this body.

Looks like you have a decent body/interior.  As far as the chassis, I'm not very familiar with AMC products but I wonder how close a Nova chassis is to that body.

Chassis & engine from a 69 AMX will work...

Not 100% what happened here in the past. Need to clean this up

Nice rebuilder. Curious fender damage.
