Default New Gremlin Project

Hey all, just wanted to show you my next project. As you may know by my screen name that I have a “street” Javelin (1969) that I’ve been working on. As you can all appreciate, making a fun useful car is full of compromises. As I have two small kids, that means NO cage for the Javelin.
So, in order to have a car that I could drive HARD, I decided not to compromise; but with a different car. I have heard from a zillion people that the best way to start racing is to buy an old race car as a starting point.
So that’s just what I did.
A buddy and I took a cannon-ball run from Wisconsin to Virginia to pick this up last weekend.
Here it is in all of it’s AMC glory!

It’s has an IMSA RS and SCCA racing history and is mostly there. It will need a cage update which I plan to start this fall.
My wife is even on board with the project, her only stipulation was that it would be purple... Works for me!
Cheers!
Mike
