New Member and PT Gremlin

[doctorZ]

Hi, I'm in the (slow) process of building an AMC Gremlin with the idea of Pro Touring in mind. I did a google search of "pro touring Gremlin" and came across a thread on here. I have heard of this site before and read threads from it, so I figured I would join and share a few pics of my project.

I'm working on this project with my dad, I'm a college student right now, so time is limited and funds are not very large, but we want to build this car the right way the first time. My dad has a shop where he does the sheetmetal work on 1st Gen Camaros (full floors, mini-tubs, quarters, smooth firewalls) and also does more custom work like stainless exhausts and rear suspensions. We're excited to have a car that people don't see too often even if it will be a lot of extra work to do custom stuff for it.

Even though some kind of LS motor would be great, $$$ and simplicity lead us to decide on a basic small block set up with nothing too crazy. The exact engine plans are still up in the air, and a lot of other work needs to be done before I have to worry about the engine.
