 Topic: My 70 AMX ProjectPosted: May/18/2011 at 11:00am |

Have owned this car for 23 years now. Have ahad a lot of fun with it. Got my first two tickets three day after getting my license... Smoked the tires from a stop light and got a ticket for unnecessary noise and one for imprudent and irrelevant speed. Went through different stages of driving and storing and ran into some engine problems about 10 years ago and let it sit. Now back at it. A little late at posting pics because I have been working on it for the last year but will get them posted. The guys on the forum here have been hugely helpful through the process.
Here is some pics just prior to pulling from storage.
   Cleaning it up.

Engine bay painted in base coat clear coat over an epoxy primer.
Turned out pretty good for an amateur. Used an older Sata Jet 90 gun.

Parts going back in. Added stainless lines, rewrapped wiring, a lot of cleaning and painting. My intentions are to make the car a driver that I can enjoy. This is not by any means a concourse restoration but will keep most of the original look.

Got the car on the road last fall and got about 500 miles on it. This spring I plan on doing the rear end end 1/4 panel patches. Here are some pics of the rear end out. I used a Snap On Crud Thug to get all of the under coating ,rust, and crud off the rear end it works very well.
