The summit guy was a great teacher, teach him a little TV hosting and bring him back more.

[@Timman57]

Man, yall wrote a whole book in braille on that paint job lol

[@sethbarnes7608]

A little tip guys, when you measure to order your Lakewood bars, you want the rubber snubber to contact the eyelet of the spring where the bushings are. If you get em the way these guys did, too short, you risk snapping your leaf spring

[@TheZethro]

Never wear gloves when working with rotating equipment (polisher in this case). It can grab the glove and take you hang with it, or a finger or two.

[@pigidly]

Love you guys. But would it be to much grabbing black can paint and detail some undercarriage? Shiny track bars on rusty springs.

All ways had a place in my heart for Javelins. when I turned 16 my dad and I went shopping for a car for myself. 1977 I wanted Chevelle, Camaro, Mustang like my friends had. dad pointed out a Javelin in the Dayton daily news. What's a Javelin? he said it's a car from AMC similar to his 67 Marlin. I wanted to die. So we went out to check out the Javelin 1970 360 auto. We waited at the guys house until his daughter came home with the car. Wow I was impressed. bright orange with a black C stripe down the side. 900.00 bucks and a good test drive and it was mine. My Dad drove it home while I followed in my Dads company car a 76 Oldsmobile Cutlass. Oh Supreme. I couldn't take my eyes off the Javelin while following. Now my dad was as conservative as Dads can get, and as I was changing his radio station from IF i WERE A RICH MAN to ROUND ABOUT He floored the Javelin and left me in tire smoke. I was hooked on AMC for the rest of my life till this day. I've built many a AMC/Rambler even drove my 72 Javelin/AMX on Daytona speedway for the 30th AMX anniversary in 1998. rate now I'm in the rebuilding stage of a 1959 Rambler American 2dr Station Wagon and just two weeks ago found a long forgotten 1970 AMX 390 4 speed car sitting under an old Oak tree for the past 20 years before that it was sitting in the guys garage since last driven in 1977. Its sad shape and looks like a 200k car but only has 64k original. bought from original owner that got it at Viti Brothers motors in Rhode Island. Good luck with your project guys. mine is just beginning.

I love what they are doing to This car being from Wisconsin and loving AMCs I have to admit I tuned out when they were going to put a Chevy motor in I was like that's friggin being lazy but when they built the 304 I tuned back in I love the paint job the big fat tires it reminds me of the javelins I had I put the air shocks and fat tires on all the javelins I had (4 of them) but I always put 360s in them. This car looks bad ass they are doing a good job.

[@johnhouseholder7682]

Looks great.seems like a lot of trash in the paint on the hood are you going to cut and buff it?

[@jodyandmichelle1]

What a beautiful shade of red. Great job.

[@MoparMan-ff8fb]

Not only did my dad own an AMX Javlin back in the day but he still has his 75 super glide harley Davidson chopper . over the years its been through a few colors and styles my favorite one is where he had it painted candy apple red with ghost gloss black flames . I like how it sits and the custom upgrades 😎👍🏁

[@davidfindley1588]

The master is at it again.

[@markkennedy4055]

I would imagine you will cut and buff that top coat cuz my god there looks to be a lot of trash. Booth filteration system failed you!

[@j.m.youngquist419]

Beautiful job guys

[@zacht9447]

TBH I really like the hard Contrast of the gold on red it looks like a classic AMC paint with the T stripe

[@davidsample9130]
