Is there such a thing?  Tongue

Back to 1982... the window on my 68 Javelin wobbled enough that it would pinch a nice little bruise if you had the window down, your arm resting on the door and hit a good enough bump. "don't put your arm there dope!"

Strange, I have 2007 Sebring that will pinch you real good, as in break the skin, if you have your arm resting on the top of the door when the power door locks kick in.

Ok, looks like I will have to go back and bug the guy with the CNC machine again to see I can get some more made.

I would be interested in some as well.  I just purchased the guides from Amark and haven't gotten them in the mail yet.  I just stumbled across your thread.  Thanks for keeping the hobby alive!!!

That gives me some ideas. I can cut acetal and many other materials with  my cheap home made CNC mill.

I always forget I have it, I guess that means I have too many hobbies!

Anyways...way to take an idea to the next level! Keep up the good work!!!

You can do things the right way or the wrong way.

Or you can do it MY way...which is like the wrong way, only faster.

I am really surprised no aftermarket companies want to pick this up.  The quality of parts I got is phenomenal - much better than some stuff I've actually bought from the repop companies.  But therein lies the difference I guess - company in it for money .... person in it for product that works.
 
Like, I was shocked the other day when I had a revelation that, companies are now reproducing an AMAZING amount of interior parts for a Gremlin!  Carpets both cargo area and passenger area, Sail Panels for the early cars, rear seat panels for the early cars, seat covers for 71-76 cars and I'm sure a few other bits I'm forgetting. This is pretty sweet considering when I first bought my Gremlin (2001) the only thing being made was poor-fitting carpets.  Really, all we need now is maybe door panels, headliners and dashpads and think of how many more Gremlins could be saved!!  An old Mopar friend I touched base with last weekend at a show was AMAZED at how AMC's have come up in the world even over the last 10 years.  I went to a little tiny show in Creston, BC and there were THREE AMC's there! A '70 AMX, a Rebel Machine and my Humpster.
I am genetically incapable of being Politically Correct.
