Good to hear Glenn! I'd make sure to get a motor for the big slide since the smaller one will wear out faster trying to pull the big slide, I'm sure

Well the darn "shipping the Super Bee" idea fell through. The guys shipping company finally came through and supposedly picked it up today. He said if something goes wrong and they don't get it to him, I'm next in line lol

Depending on how pricey the motor is and how long you plan to keep this house on wheels :P , it may not be to bad of an idea to get a spare.

Then I got home and found this with a huge stack of receipts and records. I couldn't believe my eyes:

Needless to say I geeked out for a moment. Got it on the rack this morning, not bad at all. Now to get it to shift right. Already found some rotten vaccuum hoses. I think were on to something!

Crazy to think that the 360 was a $48 option and the radio was $72, lol! That's a good looking car Thomas. It looks pretty clean.

Holy boat! Haha. Clean looking car. I always thought the AMC's were cool because they aren't as popular as the fords and chevy's. That build sheet is an awesome find.
