Since I am referenced in this email only thought it was appropriate to chime in. Agreed that this can be a lonely fraternity at times, but we always welcome new pledges (without hazeing). Ceswert, I noted your earlier post on the primer color. I grew up in AMC's home town. I am not aware of any military division closure around that time, but that was probably through the Jeep division headquartered in Toledo. I do know Ford and AMC used alot of similiar suppliers. One few people know of is the intermittent wiper governor and switch. These are direct interchanges between ford and AMC that AMC continued on production over several years after ford.
Chuck and I tend to troll this forum often as we are trying to maintain as much orginality for this generation. Keep in touch with us if you have any questions. Chuck is a great resource and he has a great car to show for it. Mine is just going in for paint this weekend. I am giving him at most 12 months to get it done. My goal is concourse driven by 2014 for the 50th.
