Thanks Jeff! That is an awesome shot! Yeah, that is a very sweet ride... I have longed for a '70 AMX for sooo loonnngggg! I had a '71 Javelin SST that over a period of about 8yrs I built into a pretty sweet ride, turned mid 11's but was certainly no 8sec. ride! :D

I LOVE AMX's! I had a 68, 390, 4 spd, posi, back in May of 69. Maybe the shifter was a little sloppy, maybe the engine was a little hefty, but that little sucker was pretty quick! I never should have gotten rid of it. (doesn't everybody say that about at least one of their cars? I passed on looking at the UTube post until I saw the wheelie picture, then I looked at the film. COOL! Thanks for starting this thread and I'm also looking forward to seeing more. Gary

I have been able to get some stuff done over the past few days... pretty much got the chassis work up to snuff... Here's where I'm at...

I'll keep plugging along as I am able to... I need to start looking at ordering some detail pieces and one of those Bobby Allison Matador kits so I can rob the engine out of it...

'til next time...

Enjoy!
