AMX Drag Cars

[Holeshot]

I have seen plenty of the lil AMXs that will go low 9 seconds, and a few that go in the 8s and a couple that will go 7s.

Gutting the body & chassis is not needed. Tie the front frame to the rear frame, a 12-point cage welded to the frame, and either ladder or (preferably) 4-link suspension pretty much takes care of the chassis.

Fiberglass fenders, bumpers, etc., are still in production, so weight can be reduced to the low 2,000s easily.

No need to destroy a survivor car when there are lots that need rust repair for fairly cheap prices.

Doesn't someone make a fiberglass body shell for an AMX?
Are those 8 and 7 sec AMX's AMC powered?

Below is a link to some pictures and a write up about a newly completed
Bittersweet Orange AMC powered AMX Drag car from the northeast area.
Says it runs mid 10's. The launch picture with the wheels in the air looks
pretty cool. To bad they have the Hood adjusted all wrong which imho
totally ruins the grille profile, appearance, lines, and character of how
the car looks from the front.

Write up talks about what parts were used.
Any BullTear parts used on this ride by chance ?

Its not so much the adjustment of the hood as it is a hood that has been cracked or rusted underneath. Cracked from years of dropping it down.......they get to looking like a bird beak.

Thing is I "spoke" with the owners over on www.amcforums.com and they said it was a fiberglass hood and they seemd to have been a little offended at me asking about it.

I was wondering if it was a glass hood. But I have seen quite a few of the steel originals go south like that.

Maybe a sore subject for them if they bought it like that and didnt like it themselves.

Man, I love it when people bring up old posts so I can drool over the pics again.....

Those pics of the ss's launching off the line make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
