Default 69 AMC Javelin Project

Hello,

I thought it was about time that I introduce myself and my project. I am Jonathan Feltis from covina, ca. I am 21 years old. My project is a 69 AMC Javelin that I have had for almost 3 years now. My Dad and I have been working on it ourselves.

This is what the car looked like when I bought:



My Dad did all the body work and paint





Here is some pictures of the car after paint and before the trans died

I want to build a nice pro-touring/autocross/track car.

For the front suspension I am going use C6 corvette components and a weld in sub frame that a forum member here, Scott Mock, built for me. It will have Strange Engineering coil overs and an AGR power rack.





Scott did a really nice job on the frame and even took the extra time to tig weld it for me. He fab'd up the steering arms and bent the sway bar arms. He always kept me updated on the progress he made, and shipped it out exactly when he said he would. Scott was great to deal with and answered all my questions. If you are looking for an awesome subframe, I would call him up.

For the Rear suspension, I am thinking of building are own 3 link with a panhard bar or maybe even a watts link and Strange Engineering coilovers in the rear also. The rear axle is a 9 full floater with speedway engineering aluminum hubs, moser aluminum 3rd member, 3.64 rp, and Speedway Eng. axles.

As for brakes I am looking a 13" or 14" Wilwood setup with 6 piston calipers and gt rotors, in the rear I have a pair of Wilwood forged 4 piston superlites with 1.88/1.75 stainless pistons with a 12.19" gt rotor.

I am not quite sure on wheels yet, but I am thinking of getting some ccw classics in 17x10 and 17x11 with 275's on the front and 315's on the rear.

Thanks,
Jon

Jon; your car is awesome.I was looking for a javelin when I found this 66 nova sedan. I still want to build a Penske/Donahue Javelin one of these days.It's great that the sub frame is going in such a bad a&& car.And guys by the way Jon was great to work with too.He sent a check every time he said he would.So it is easy to work w/ some like that.It's great when everybody does what they say they will do.Good luck Jon w/ the project.And you have some if you need anything else you just ask.
