I had found a a rust free 72 camaro and when I ask for him throw in the frt. bumpers he said that was a deal brecker.He said I was asking for to much.So the hunt is still on. I still would like to have a 71-72 javelin to build but I really want a car that is driveable over the long haul. So a trans am javeiln will have to wait until I get a suitable power tour car.

You know I'm in California and I used to know of a few that are in my little town. Rust isnt really an issue and there is a guy that has numerous Javalins. I could try to track him down and see if he still has them and is interested in letting one go

I did the first three stops on the Power Tour last year with the wife with my newly finished car. It was very, very cool.

Happy hunting. Having built an AMC I totaly understand the frustration of finding what you are looking for.

Getting cars from out west to the midwest is at minimum a grand or more, due to how good the steel is out there it's totally worth it, but still a big check to write before you even start the project.

I am seriously considering the purchase of another gen-1 Javelin shell from another member here, If anyone on here has a better way to ship, via rail container or something else please post.

My vision for a javelin is a raw race car type car just like my camaro.Loud,fast,nosiy,sprung stiff,& very quick steering.The kind of car that spits at it's competitors.It's hard to drive a car like this on the power tour, unless you are 20 years old.At this point in my life I need a car just like the DSE 1970 test camaro.

Scott-not trying to jack your thread but let's go back to the first post and the comment about starting the C6 subframe for the early Nova. I'm building a tube-frame 65 and am using C4 front suspension. Do you build the subframe yourself? Is there anywhere I can see pics or follow a thread about how you go about it? Any help or info you could give me would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Peter
