Love this project as you might expect.:cheers:
Slammed gremlins always look very good:http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...k/IMGP1074.jpg

I am currently building/restoring an old IMSA RS gremlin to race in the vintage events, so I'm limited on my modifications, ;)
https://lateral-g.net/forums/showthread.php4?t=31588

As mentioned earlier, Gremlins and Spirits have had very good success in the IMSA RS series in the early 70's so while this build may seem odd to some, these cars have been used on road courses for a long time:thumbsup:

The suspension modification techniques used here would work on just about any AMC, it would be very cool to see a later 'humpster' Javelin modified like this Gremlin, the large-by-huge wheels would look appropriate inside those wheel humps!

If you only need an inch of hood clearance the stock hood bulge could be raised and still look mostly stock. Just an idea.

:cheers: Thanks! And you're right, the suspension mods we're doing can be done to any AMC, because our G-Machine Chassis can be installed in ANY car. We have 23 standard plug-n-play models for the G-Machine Chassis, but we love out-of-the-box applications.

About the hood, we've talked at length about that. Some of us want to make a scoop out of it, some want to raise the bulge so it looks more stock, some just want to make simple cowel-scoop hood... final decision is up to the owner... we'll see what happens...

Do you have any plans for the big bumpers?

I asked the owner about the bumpers and he said he plans to simply delete them.

And regarding the hood, he said he's on the hunt for a fiberglass cowl hood.

Here is an earlier version of the car Schwartz is putting together:thumbsup: This thing rocks... or should I say it's groovy:P

It has a bit of a cowl hood on it too, I've not seen another like this before.

Has this angry little car seen any more progress?
