Default American Motors Xperimental full frame

Had this 69 AMX kind of fall into my lap, probably wasn't something I would have gone out and bought but it's now starting to grow on me. My impressions of these cars was that they looked like a Gasser, rear axle was way forward. A real wheelstander, not so much a handler. The body was very nice, kinda broke my heart to butcher it the way I did.

I desided to alter the wheelbase, adding 6" to the rear and about an inch to the front, taking the wheelbase from 97" to 104". I gutted the car, built a new chassis, installed a cage, and after the first of the year will start on the floors and the sheet metal.

The car will be LS powered, with
a Magnum 6 speed , C6 stuff up front with a torque armed Dana 60 inthe rear with a Watts link.
