Nice addition, Rick. Not to hijack the thread but I picked up a similar car. First project, ditch the damn spoiler!

Well I guess I can't paint mine silver now.. That car really looks good in that color combo. Nice car! Loosing the spoiler but adding a rear wing.

Spoiler is coming off for sure. Makes the car look like it was rear ended. The wing is ab option. Wish I knew you needed body parts. I'm trying to clear out 2 40x60 barns @ my dad's place full of AMC parts. Mostly 68-7- AMX/Javelin and 71-73 full size cars. Most everything is from TX and been in storage since the late 80's. Left his place last night and am leaving for Cordova in the morning.

Thank you Joe for working over the carb! It goes like it should at WOT and the stumble issue is gone. We just need to working on the surging issue now. Timing is set at 10 degrees advanced initial and the vac advance is plugged off. I might play with the fuel air mixture screws tomorrow. Maybe I can send my Motorcrap carb to Joe for some love?

Rick that spoiler looks like a modified 71-74 spoiler.. It is actually a 1970 spoiler. Not sure if it is an original or aftermarket one yet.

NO! Besides, it is too rusty for you Spud.
