American Motors Xperimental full frame

The hood came from AAR fiberglass out of Florida, looks like a well made part. My plans are to slightly cut and narrow this new $500 part, and then cut 3" off the length of this new $500 part. LOL

First thing a hot rodder needs to learn -- "ya gotta cut to cure".

Oh man…..

Ive bought a few hoods from aar and the quality has been first class

The rear suspension in this car uses a watts link. In my normal knuckle dragging self, I welded up the watts mount on to the Dana 60 cover with a lot of adjustability, welding and warpage. After talking to Aaron for I long while, and looking at some of the cutting edge stuff he was doing. I decided to see what we could come up with in aluminum.

Aaron started the 3d design work, and in my opinion, it is nothing short of spectacular. He just started making aluminum chips, and I'm not ashamed to say it gives me abit of a chubby. The contrast between my parts and his is like comparing a couple of paper cups and string vs. a cell phone. Aaron just has the one side done, and sent me the pics today, and I had to post them. Like magic.

Chubby?

Very nice.

That's super badass,

are you going to have a drain in the cover?
No pre load bolts for a caps?

Glad you like it so far Ron. I built a fixture plate to mount it to for machining the outside. Hope to get a good part of it machined tomorrow.

I enjoy the challenges of something like this and finally seeing it come to life is nothing short of awesome.

I'll forward more pics when I have something. Thanks for the nice words. Sorry its taken this long, work gets in the way of fun stuff sometimes...

The cover looks awesome, nice job Aaron. The AMX is coming along, I like how the front end is turning out.
