Yeah, unfortunately 70's AMC's are notorious for rotting out the tops of the fenders before anything else. There's this big C-channel under that spot that collects a bunch of crud and then... well, they look like the Gremmie there.

I've got more Ideas guys, stay tuned.

Sweet! I have always liked this build.
I should have got the Pinto when I had the chance, but I put it back on the shelf...What was I thinking!

Was thinking the same thing as I was reading, it looks great !

As for a paint job, I would leave it the way it is. Gives it a more realistic look.

I've always liked this thing and great job on the "rust". What it Really needs is a busted tail light lens with the red clear tape repair! There used to be a Mavrick running around the woods up north here in Michigan when I was younger and that thing was just like this one, Big and Ugly but Very functionable! Great job and keep us posted on updates!

I thought you would get a kick out of this AMC Eagle SX4 so I took some pics last time I went to Wyoming.

It is riding on 36" Swampers and EB axles and is powered by a 351 if I remember correctly. The guy who built it owns Evolution 4x4 in Casper, WY.
