Default The Grape Ape - 74 AMX

Time to post up my new project. I'm fixing this up as I go, since it is a good running driving car. The interior is beat and it's got some rust issues with the floorboards and inner rockers, but nothing I can't fix with the welder and some time. Once the Patriot Dream Camaro is done I'm gonna do some cool stuff to this thing. I bought it off of DDY RCKT a month or so ago and I'm loving every minute of it. I started another thread after I bought it, but since it has a new name I started a new thread. It is originally a 304 automatic car that was Fresh Plum, but now it is a 401 4-spd car that is Plum Crazy. Motor is a 390 bored .06 over, trans shifts strong, and it hauls ass. I love this thing.

Here is is when I bought it a few weeks ago:

And then I decided to mock up my Autometer Phantoms in the bezel. We're going to custom make a black bezel that fits them more smoothly and evenly.


And then finally, a sneak peek of my new wheels. I'm going to take some better shots on Saturday, so I'll post them when I get those done. Weld Pro stars - 15x8 in the front 3.5"bs w/245/60/15 BFG Radial TAs and 15x10 in the back 4.5" bs w/ 295/50/15 BFG Radial TAs.
