[@sethbarnes7608]

A little tip guys, when you measure to order your Lakewood bars, you want the rubber snubber to contact the eyelet of the spring where the bushings are. If you get em the way these guys did, too short, you risk snapping your leaf spring

[@TheZethro]

Never wear gloves when working with rotating equipment (polisher in this case). It can grab the glove and take you hang with it, or a finger or two.

[@AndyFromm]

I had a ex co worker stick his hand wearing a leather glove in a hydraulic powered rotating piece of equipment. His glove caught and twisted his hand up into the equipment before stopping it. luckily it was a high speed low torque motor and only busted a bunch of bones. Not that this matters to the glove thing but he also pulled out infront of a train totalling out a new company truck with like 50 miles on it.

[@MetalY2KMusic]

first thing I thought when they said "wear gloves for protection"

[@henrydycha3738]

Love you guys. But would it be to much grabbing black can paint and detail some undercarriage? Shiny track bars on rusty springs.

[@johnhouseholder7682]

Looks great.seems like a lot of trash in the paint on the hood are you going to cut and buff it?

[@cameronvandygriff7048]

I would have to lay about 2 extra coats and cut and buff to level the clear on all the extra layers of paint

[@ibast1]

Noticed that. Looks like it was sprayed in someone's shed and not a spray booth.

[@cameronvandygriff7048]

@@ibast1 cause nothings been buffed and cut with polish

[@ibast1]

@@cameronvandygriff7048 agree, but I'd expect a better off the gun finish in a booth. In fact I've seen better home jobs prior to cutting. Most professional 2K paint shops don't do any significant cutting these days. Just a quick polish. This much cutting and buffing would be like the old days using Acrylic.

[@MattLundquistVW]

@@ibast1 with camera crew coming in and out of the booth to get the shots, it's amazing that it doesn't look like a turd rolled in a sand pit. A good cut and buff and it will hold its own at most car shows.

I love what they are doing to This car being from Wisconsin and loving AMCs I have to admit I tuned out when they were going to put a Chevy motor in I was like that's friggin being lazy but when they built the 304 I tuned back in I love the paint job the big fat tires it reminds me of the javelins I had I put the air shocks and fat tires on all the javelins I had (4 of them) but I always put 360s in them. This car looks bad ass they are doing a good job.

[@MoparMan-ff8fb]

Not only did my dad own an AMX Javlin back in the day but he still has his 75 super glide harley Davidson chopper . over the years its been through a few colors and styles my favorite one is where he had it painted candy apple red with ghost gloss black flames . I like how it sits and the custom upgrades 😎👍🏁

All ways had a place in my heart for Javelins. when I turned 16 my dad and I went shopping for a car for myself. 1977 I wanted Chevelle, Camaro, Mustang like my friends had. dad pointed out a Javelin in the Dayton daily news. What's a Javelin? he said it's a car from AMC similar to his 67 Marlin. I wanted to die. So we went out to check out the Javelin 1970 360 auto. We waited at the guys house until his daughter came home with the car. Wow I was impressed. bright orange with a black C stripe down the side. 900.00 bucks and a good test drive and it was mine. My Dad drove it home while I followed in my Dads company car a 76 Oldsmobile Cutlass. Oh Supreme. I couldn't take my eyes off the Javelin while following. Now my dad was as conservative as Dads can get, and as I was changing his radio station from IF i WERE A RICH MAN to ROUND ABOUT He floored the Javelin and left me in tire smoke. I was hooked on AMC for the rest of my life till this day. I've built many a AMC/Rambler even drove my 72 Javelin/AMX on Daytona speedway for the 30th AMX anniversary in 1998. rate now I'm in the rebuilding stage of a 1959 Rambler American 2dr Station Wagon and just two weeks ago found a long forgotten 1970 AMX 390 4 speed car sitting under an old Oak tree for the past 20 years before that it was sitting in the guys garage since last driven in 1977. Its sad shape and looks like a 200k car but only has 64k original. bought from original owner that got it at Viti Brothers motors in Rhode Island. Good luck with your project guys. mine is just beginning.

[@markkennedy4055]

I would imagine you will cut and buff that top coat cuz my god there looks to be a lot of trash. Booth filteration system failed you!

[@pillipino3788]

Damn reality getting In the way of a good tv show!

[@irench]

You should have found some AMC period correct slappers, They replace the spring clamp, shock mount and look entirely different than the Lakewood versions which didn't go on AMC back in the day. Camera showed some trash in the paint on the hood but I'm sure that's another day. The extra steps of blowing out the hidden dirt, and sealing the jams are awesome tips. Still remember laughing at Jared using a cut off wheel to "set the gaps" on a camaro done on the show a long time ago

[@keithalbrecht4785]

As I commented at the start of this build, about my grandfather working for AMC. I think you knot it out of the park & I think my grandfather would think so too!!! It would be awesome to win this car. My grandfather always wonted my brother & I to buy an AMC, but that never happened. The right car never came along. Still now! Love the build & show!!!!!!!!!!!

[@RalphSampson...]

I know I have no experience and couldn't do better but, that test panel hood looked to have a lot of orange peel. It would take a lot of color sanding, buffing, and polishing. Edit: The finished painted car, too. I'm sure they will correct it. Maybe, that'll be the next episode of "Bad Apple". Great car. I'm loving it so, far.

[@brotherfrankenstein1381]

Exactly what I was wondering.

[@rudyjhughes]

It’s due to the multiple layers of base and candy the clear shrinks down to whatever texture was left from that. It needs to be sanded with 800 and re cleared to make it perfect.

[@rocsti5402]

@@Grunt49 I thought it looked bad and then read your comment and am wondering how hard you looked? Holy crap I usually have a hard time nothing orange peel but Everytime the light reflection glossed over an area or they showed a whole different part of the car I was like damn that's bad.

@@commonmockery1074 Just that. It's shiny. It's all "Look at me! Look at me!" I don't want to be looked at. I don't want to be noticed.

Excellent work as usual. Im not a huge fan of any Javelin tbh. Its more of a numbers matching drive it to church original kind of car to me but I do like what the ring bros did on the other hand. I dont know much about the Javelin but always loved the Big Bad AMX since I was a kid. This car not being as rare would make for a good bb tribute perhaps. Im sure they will sway me on the end result though.

[@MrRickChase]

Tbh this build in general has been... Half-baked at best. The ghost stripes imo aren't befitting of the body, they didn't do any cleanup of the underside of the car, impressed with the power they got out of the 304 for what mods they did to it but could've modded a 360 for an easy 500+, wheel poke and tuck may be stylish for the era but looks a little overboard in each aspect for a worthwhile build. My favorite javelins have always been the ones built for track racing. Stockhill Racing in Australia's got a mean one they're putting together, along with classics like penske and Donahue. My all time has to be a 68(?, Could've been a 69) javelin in some European league known as "the beast" had cambered wheels under some beastly molded fenders. Mix that with the gen1 javelin looks and that mako-shark face that the amx's made iconic and she's a mean mf-er

[@Motorallyrider]

[@larrywoolford8978]

In my opinion I’m tired of seeing over restored muscle cars at every car show and this is what I’d like to see as the next trend in muscle cars. Maybe call it “Day Two Cars “ . Back in the day no self respecting muscle car owner left the factory wheels on for long ,and they were usually swapped out for Cragars , Keystones or aluminum slots ,big in the back and skinny up front , add the slipper bars and air shocks , headers and an aftermarket intake and you were ready to go . This is what would really represent the cars and owners of the muscle car era ,not over restored trailer queens .

[@TheBeardedMiracle]
