Parts needed for charity AMX

If you know what parts are needed, please add to this thread.

The existing tires (two pairs of radials) are already mounted on the car and look quite good. They will suffice until someone is ready to address the wheel situation.

Currently the car has the A.I.R. manifolds that were original to the 70s Jeep the engine came from.  Year correct manifolds (non-smog) are really needed to make it a close restoration, which is what was decided many moons ago ("the best we can within reason" -- which meant the newer 360 block wasn't going to be made an issue, but it was built to 70 standards).

Jouhn Widiker says he has one side of the non-smog manifolds, but not sure which. I'm not sure which side rocker molding is needed. We'll have to wait until John has time to look at both parts. I'm not sure about the heat shields and stove pipe, all I can tell you at this point is it's a 49 state car, not CA. I'll get the info from John when I can. Remember, just like you, he has a job and a life outside this. He committed to getting the body work completed and getting it painted. Anything else he does is "extra".

Might have to find someone near the area to arrange to meet him at the shop and do another inventory. Sounds like a duplication, but inventory changes due to donations and sometimes things overlooked when moving, and some parts are simply overlooked when you're not concerned with that particular item. So now that we're looking specifically for the heat shields and stove, and exactly what type is on hand, it may turn up that we either don't have all the components or there is a mix of years. Let's not concern ourselves with what should be or was, but what IS NOW.

Matt dredged up the contact for the side pipes and sent it to me. The Trendsetters were a dealer installed option, but as far as I know were never on this particular car. I'm not sure if the offer for them still stands, didn't want to take them at the time because the car was in the body shop and didn't want to have to ship them 2-3 times, and didn't want to leave something that could be put on almost any car in the shop.

We aren't there yet, would normally let the people with the car who wanted to complete the exhaust work handle this, but since it's been brought up, what should the final exhaust be:
1. Trendsetters (provided they are donated, at least in part).
2. Stock type exhaust (AMX guys -- single or dual?).
3. Aftermarket dual exhaust with good turbo mufflers.

I've never tried -- can anyone create a poll? I'll wait a day or two and cross-post this to the other Forum and AMC-List, with a link to the poll.

If it comes up Trendsetter's I'll give the contact info to whomever wants to take the responsibility of getting them. Installing will be up to someone with the car in hand, of course. It's close enough to finished that it would be appropriate to obtain them now, wasn't a couple years ago.

this must be a fairly old list of stuff needed-i know I sent the scoops and the complete ram air items, to include a restored air cleaner.

The list is pretty old but it is the latest that I have.  It sounds to me like the very next thing that needs to be done after the car comes out of paint is a parts inventory.
