70 AMX 70 Javelin

HISTORY. 1 year all ready. So, purchase a 70 AMX and for parts a 70 Javelin. AMX has been sitting under a tarp and a big Oak for the last 20 years on grass. I first found car back in 1990 or so, and it was mint. 63k on the odometer original owner from Viti motors and he also worked in the parts department. So in 2000 he decided to modify engine with headers, Crane Can/HS rockers/duel springs ect ect. also Edelbrock intake. Never ran since and I offered my help but he wanted to try. Well stopped by every year or so but it just sat behind the house. well time went bye. like 20 years. I was working on a 78 T/A in that town and remembered the AMX so after I was done I drove around for an hour trying to remember were the car was. 20 years things change but also all the homes in that area look the same and that was my biggest problem. But long story short. found it still sitting under the tree. tarp not so good. but made the deal and trailered it home to sit in my back yard under a Maple for a month until I could make room. So here are the pics and it is coming along but slower then I want. I also have my 59/60 Rambler American. 78 C20 frame up. Ranger trans. 51 GMC 100 overhaul ect ect ect ect. ON THE PICS  it looks worst then it is. not really. but I love fabrication and have most tools or I'll make them. The hardest is the cross section bellow the rear window. the support pictured in 3 and 4. it was totally rusted but the package tray was good so used the CAD(cardboard added design) and just made some templated to transfer to steel. got all that done so a sheet of metal between this part and the trunk and fritzee is his name. Ok im not a body guy but have learned alot at the dealer. (mostly what not to do) and a YOUTUBE videos by FRITZEE who spells it out real easy and so far everything is working out.

Fritzee's videos don't do much for me unless I watch them numerous times.  Sometimes I don't get the sense even of what he is saying.  And me makes it look too simple.  His rapid delivery and accent suck too.
