Nice project, I always loved the fender lines on those AMC 2nd gens...right out of the T/A 'cheaters handbook"

Definitely not as much out there for an AMC build, but it's not always a bad thing. If you wanted aluminum heads for a Gen 1 SBC, how in the hell would you choose? For an AMC, you really only have two choices.
What's painful is the suspension bits and brakes. Not much aftermarket support at all if you want something that's suitable for a track car.
If I do another similar car, would love to to a 69 Trans Am clone. It's not a 69 Camaro, but can use same suspension packages. Would run a Pontiac motor, of course.
