Stu, I've been staring at my neighbors 4 door non runner and been trying to talk him out of it. You're building the 1:1 of my next project | |

I have a buddy who has 13 AMC Eagles sitting at his house, and probably enough parts to build 30 more if you brought him a bare shell. And that's only a FRACTION of the AMC stuff he has. His shop is AMC heaven. I wanna see more of whatever that is up behind the SX/4 on the shelf. What is that?!?!?! |

Good God, I thought the Scout brought the loonies out of the woodwork Y'all are nuts! Started the fun part - sanding. And made bumpers from some C-channel. Jav, the project on the shelf is my late T-bucket project. I put on the Camino shell because the wire wheels exploded at 40 mph, so it needed a late-model body. But I sort of stole the battery, receiver and speed control from it |

Hit a little snag with this build. Looks like I'm gonna have to do a tear-off on the hood and give it a little curve at the trailing edge. The shape of the cowl and windshield is bothering me. Something to do when I get back from Montana.... |

So, six months later it may be time for an update, yeah? A little flat black and a lot of sanding to give it that scuffed-up look (I'm not BigBaller, I don't wheel show cars) The grille is carved from foam, headlights are Lexan and chrome tape. I hacked up a 1:1 turn signal for the amber lights. Painted up some MSD's, still waiting on the new tires. Still to do: interior, rear bumper and most of the glass. |

Stu, Looking good, glad to hear you still have some time for the little rigs. Do you carry around any small rigs while you're over-the-roading? |

this is funny. I had an 81 SX/4, handled like a gokart but it only had the 151 4 banger, so it was quite the turd as far as power goes. also had an 80 wagon too, used to drive lengthways down snow banks in the winter, what a tank, flew straight and level when I jumped it. |
