Wow! Those look amazing! I wonder if they'd do a set for a '70?

Giving the Gremlin it's 2 year checkup and getting ready for the summer. The car has been invited to the Eyes On Design show in Gross Pointe next month, so I need to get it ready!
I changed the oil, cleaned the underside (drove it in the rain at Hershey last fall!), and just finished this project up. The radiator needed some detail so I pulled it out and repainted it. While out I rerouted one of the heater hoses (was too long before), cleaned up the water outlet, re-phosphated some of the bolts that had finishes I wasn't really happy with, and made new stamps with the AM logo for the hoses. As I've been researching the hoses for my SC/360 I have seen a lot of mixed logo use in late 70, and I think these are a better representation of the original hoses. My Dec 70 SC/360 had it's original hoses and these match those markings. Up next... installing the new door panels and a project I think I may be nuts for taking on...

Happy to announce that the Gremlin was awarded a Senior Gold in Cleveland, and earned the Roy Chapin Award for Best of Show in the AMC 70 and up class. This is quite an honor and my goal for the car when building it. Next up we'll go for the Heritage Cup in Rockford... can't stop now!
Something pretty cool to me...here is a pic of Roy Chapin Jr sitting in a 70 gremlin outside of the Plymouth Road HQ. Basically the same car as mine- what a cool image! |

Interesting...in that there is no mystery hole in the passenger door edge....There must have been a running change on that hole and what went in it sometime mid 71 production maybe...Bob in Alabama...Get that big heavy thing off of "our" hood before it dents it...

Thanks Chuck. I'll certainly be in the class next year, but I have some pretty tough competition! Should be a fun weekend!

Congradulations Ian, I missed a lot of nice cars this year. Took the plung to help judge. I was able to really get a good look at the ones I saw but missed the gemmi this year. Hope to see it in Rockford when I try for the 4th year to get the ever elusive GOLD.
