Ok, another new project starts. Here is what is in store for this really sweet AMX. Control Freak IFS with power rack, Control Freak 4 link rear suspension, 3 inch polished stainless steel custom exhaust, Wilwood disc brakes at all four corners, the Berry Allen built engine will be opened for inspection, and a long punch list of smaller items will be attended to. Stay tuned.

Wow, is that "Special Order" Rallye Green??  Gorgeous colour!  I wouldn't be messing with that car if it were mine.

Not 100% sure. The door tag shows B7A for the paint code. I'll ask Mike when he get's here tonight.

It looks like "Brilliant Green Metallic", same as my 71 AMX.

Too many projects!

Ding! Ding! Ding! And we have a winnner. You are correct. I asked Mike tonight and he confirmed that it is in fact Brilliant Green Metallic.

I can't say for sure. The current owner, Mike, would have to say. I know it made the rounds on Ebay about a year or so ago and I think that may have been where Mike pick it up.

And so it begins. The Control Freak hardware should be arriving shortly after the first of the year. In preparation the current front suspension is bring striped and stored for future use.





Since the engine is coming out, both to accommodate the installation of the new CF IFS and for investigation of what appears to be excessive blow by, the grill has been removed and placed in a safe place. The bumper was taped to protect it from scratching and padding was placed on the top of the front spoiler since we had to loosen the bumper brackets to remove the grill.



Mike has been putting in sweat equity like there is no tomorrow. At this rate we will have the work done in no time flat. Well, almost no time flat. We have a lot of work on our hands between this project and the Little Red project.
