Welcome To The Machine.... The GREEN MACHINE

This is the Gremlin before, as a 232 Straight 6 automatic.

I blew my second transmission, and decided it was time to go bigger.... much bigger. Here she is engineless and up in the air.

This is it right after I first put the motor in.  I had chosen a House of Kolors paint and painted the engine bay while i had the motor out, but I recently decided to change the color, yet again.

Motor in and running.   While it was out over the winter, I had bought a T-5 World Class 5-speed from an 89 Mustang at a local swap meet.  I decided to try and get it to fit, and it went right up with little modifications.

I started off with a grey sealer, and began laying out my basecoat, here it is in the stages of paint.


343Gremlin's 1973 AMC Gremlin

I couldn't help myself, I needed to see how a rim looked on it with the color layed out!

All finished! Now to try to put her together!

Rims on, untaped, and NICEEEEE!


343Gremlin's 1973 AMC Gremlin

I didn't feel liek paying the $185 for the stripe kit, so I painted them on with some matte black. She's starting to look good!

First car show I took it to, not completed of course, I need to find new bumpers, brackets and door handles for her.


343Gremlin's 1973 AMC Gremlin

She won best paint at the first show, and the preservation award at the second show I took her to!  Shes got a set of 17" Polished Aluminum, American Racing Hopsters.  They look great!!!

 



I know I've been MIA for a while without an update, so here are some recent pictures of the Gremmy.
