Just got myself this 69 amx. Needs alot of work but I plan on putting an corvette chassis and driveline under it maybe a turbo or two, which I seem to be getting pleny of crap for from the AMC guys for doing. Not much to look at right now but it will get there eventually. Body will remain stock as will the interior.

I've always liked that body style. I could see it as a cool PT car.

Well I gotta get my nova at least on the road and to the body shop before I start on the X. Its sooo far gone I would have to fab my own custom stuff anyway so I figure why not make it handel better, and be more reliable as well.

Well I sold the amx with the economy being the way it is I figured it would be better to have some cash on hand. The X was alittle to far gone too. I get another one thats finished, then cut it up. Plus it gives me more time to get my nova done.
