Hi, I have an AMC Javelin. I bought the car in 2012 when I was 13 years old. What started as a little rust repair turned into a full restoration when I asked for help from my Grandpa. I'm not going to post every detail of the build, since it's already written out here: http://theamcforum.com/forum/1974-am...852_page1.html
So basically I'll just update from now on here. The restoration is complete, but I still keep finding things I want to add. Some day, I hope to bag this car. But for now, I'm just going to go static. My lowering blocks for the back are being shipped right now. Enough talk, let's see the car.
Those wheels weren't included. The ones I borrowed didn't fit. Thankfully, I did get some that fit shortly after for free. Just putting this pic here to show before.
And after... The new colors are 2013 GM gold on the body and brown stripes/top. I kept the vinyl top trim to split up the colors...And yes a piece is missing. On its way as well.
Here are specs:
304 with Chrysler 727 Torqueflite (both original to car)
Shift kit
4 barrel intake and Edelbrock carb
Thrush turbo mufflers (will upgrade eventually)
Summit Racing Quick 8 wheels 15x7 front 15x8 rear
Cooper Cobra tires (can't remember sizes at this moment, I'll look later if y'all are interested)
Blacked out grille and taillights
Saddle brown seats, tan door panels and carpet
1969 Camaro front spoiler
Javelin AMX rear spoiler (this car isn't a real AMX, just a base model)
I'm sure I'm forgetting stuff. Feel free to ask and give input. I'll post interior and engine pics next. Gotta give my brain a break for a minute from all this typing and my slow computer.
