The AMX Project!

[@nvrhme15]

401 V8. They are such cool cars. I just picked up a 70 AMC Javelin with a 401 swapped in it

[@nickploszay2310]

Building a amc is a instant subscription click for me. I can't wait to watch.

[@vehdynam]

AMX's are sweet looking cars, always liked them.I am looking forward to seeing this build progress. Also great to hear a shout out for Kevin at KSR. Top notch guy and fabricator. He is doing a car for Steve Morris right now. Thanks for the video.

[@willecutlip]

Love the shout outs to Kevin and KSR Racing! Kevin is such a solid guy!

Oh that guy that used to put out Buick build videos 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Houseacwth]

He still does.

[@huotmj9417]

@@Houseacwth I believe he was referring to sarcastically that it’s been over a month since Kevin has posted anything. Still has the Camaro to finish as well as his Buick.

[@randywilliams2505]

@@huotmj9417 Kevin is building a Olds

[@jkfonyi]

Shit must have went south with ksr and Steve Morris. Steve has not mentioned the camaro in a month and he was supposed to have it weeks ago. Kevin strikes again

[@az_natalie]

Husband and I had a Javelin that came with a red, white, and blue paint job to match the old trans am series ones. We were also sacrilege and put a 6.4 hemi in with a whipple supercharger. They are cool cars.

[@rudyhollis6540]

KSR Kevin is one of the most down to earth and talented people on KZbin, he's a true craftsman!!!

[@michaelzimmerman9221]

A couple months ago, I bought the same 427 from Texas speed, dropped another 6 g’s on turbo’s and miscellaneous! I’m working on finishing it up in a 95 GMC 1500! Tremec 6, and 9in rear end! Brakes still to come! That combo is definitely bad ass!

[@georgboone6086]

Never thought I'd like an AMX but that's going to be badass!

[@tonykemper8896]

Kevin done hooked it up big time! I love the valve covers but to each his own! Can’t wait to see this unique car on the road!

[@werdevo6]

One of the most underrated muscle car bodies during those days, not just another Camaro or Nova, lol! Loved those factory aluminum louvered rocker panal covers which reminded me of shark gills!

[@adancastaneda5156]

Maybe the fact of having to find parts for them if it’s hard to find parts for a Camaro or nova imagine a amc think about it

[@tonymohr1304]

Love my 1971 AMC AMx 401 built up in mine Just a wknd ride.

[@deanna1010]

I used to own a 1974 AMC Hornet, It came with fiberglass front fenders. It had a AMC 360 motor in it. I did put a cam in it with a Edelbrock Performer rpm air-gap intake, Hedman headers and was bracket raced for a few years.

[@ernestperkins4394]

In 1970 my mom bought a powder puff blue rambler sedan, it was our families ride! She loved it!

[@andrewjones9893]

Love the AMX, so good to see something different to the usual Chevs and Fords. Merry Christmas from New Zealand.

[@stephencoddington7383]

Luv the 68-70 AMX

[@Atodaso-pg9kq]

Thanks for telling us about the AMX I was wondering its story. That’s gonna be a cool car. As for Mullet Profab originally started the El Camino project we now know as now as Mullet when it was going to be a jet car. Cameron Johnson (CJRC) worked at Profab along with his one guy Troy (who now works for Cameron at CJRC) and Troy did a lot of work on it in jet car form. Not sure how much if any Cameron worked on the jet car but he did do the cage work on Leeroy when he worked at Profab. Anywho the Elco went from Profab to KSR and Kevin built it in to the Mullet we all came to know. I can’t remember how much of the original jet car made it into Mullet but it did start out at Profab.

[@lianwalton9194]

That’s going to be a cool build-as all of your cars are-that puppy loves you Jeff-that’s cool too…

[@BigBoxDodge2020]

I've had my 1968 Firebird, 400, 4 speed for 46 years.

[@BeatersRus]

this popped up in our AMC forums and everyone lost their minds because....they foolishly assumed it would have an AMC drivetrain. i of course Knew better,having watched Jeff racing for over ten years now :),of Course its gonna be a big inch ls. itll still be nice to see an Amx in the top tiers. Thanks for all the great races and memories Jeff !!

[@StuartBlake-iz6rf]

Yeah, boys, AMC. That's a great project, and you seem to have it pictured in your mind. Go for it; it will be fun to watch.

[@jasonbose3507]

THANK YOU FATHER & SON TEAM FOR BUILDING A MORE RARE CAR! So many people pick common cars to build, it's nice to see something different that isn't seen very often. Good job on building for a friend. Looks awesome and I know that it will be a serious screamer down the road! Keep up the good work 😁. Great video 📸. Thanks!

[@dougreed9843]

You guys truly make it Worthy of Texas racing this. AMC is so cool

[@charlesmains2414]

Outfreakingstanding gentlemen great job on everything and keep up the good work

[@johnaustin6673]

My mom had a red white and blue 1970 AMX when I was little, it was the first new car my dad bought her. I know why he chose it, he was a Harley Davidson sponsored pro flat track rider in the late 60's and early 70's.

[@Sean-i4r]

Grabber green would be a cool color.I can't wait to see that car done!!

[@quickdeuce]

With the LUTZ Team taking ahold of this hotrod and building it for the street we are 100% EXCITED to see it back on the street done up right!! Can't wait!

[@scottmcdonald2807]

First hot rod I ever got to ride in. My oldest nephews father had it with the 390 and some kind of racing clutch. It had a hammerhead hood and was a 4 speed. I remember the plaque on the dash as it was one of only so many made. It was a 68. Sweet car

[@vinniegillotti9347]

Back in the day, a friend of mine had a 68 javelin SST I had a hornet Z it originally had a 304 built up in it. I built a snot out of a 390 and put a four-speed in it with an L 88 foot scoop. You’ll love that Jeff. lol I watched a PRI video on blueprint engines. I see they have stepped up their game over the years a little competition for Texas speed honestly.

[@kristopher87]

Awesome amx I have a fully restored 70 390 4 speed car. 401 was the biggest motor amc built it’s pretty much a 390 they bumped up to 401 once the new emissions standards came out in 71. 1968 to 1970 was the 290, 304, 343 typhoon, 360, 390. From 71 on it was the 304 360 and 401

[@TonyL-uk4xs]

Love seeing an AMX getting out and showing people how great they are. I love my 70 AMX and the comments it gets. Definitely not 2000hp in my concours build though! Looking forward to updates.

[@russellholmes1034]

Nice build good to see something different

[@Sean-i4r]

Sweet ride.Im so excited. I road in one in a car seat as a baby

[@JerrellKull]

Amx had a 401 or a 390 and a 360 I think.. I helped some guys run a Amc dirt oval car, kicked butt several years with it. Cool build. Y'all take care...

[@wadepaul2943]

Hell yeah GO KSR Gansville Florida !

[@CTemple82]

I believe Troy Fedora from CJ race cars first built Mullet when he worked at Pro-Fab. It was going to be twin turbo LS & jet powered, then KSR got the car when they ditched the jet engine idea and redid a lot to make it into the first version which was just LS with twins and after a couple seasons of drag n drives it went back to KSR for the BBC, then the Cleetus crew put in the SMX, ran that for a season or so and eventually switched it back to the conventional BBC and now it’s at CJRC.

[@ronmiller1162]

im pretty sure the guys at profab killed the jet car plans they were tryin to save Garrets life

[@CTemple82]

@ yep

[@eddie3489]

I’m so glad to see Junior using a razor knife to cut the plastic!! Drives me crazy watching Sean‘s videos and he’ll just use the blade itself! lol

That AMX is just the coolest ever build for drag& drive events 🥳 would build one in a heartbeat if just had the money for that👌 happy holidays team LRC✅

[@Wickedburnouts802]

I love the amx! My 1st car was an AMC spirit/amx

[@turboturtle9083]

When i was young i worked for amc and had occasion to thrash the amx and the javelin. I loved the look of the amx but the longer wheelbase of the javelin made it much easier to control, for me at least.

[@waynesmith5301]

401 was the biggest engine love your channel and talent

[@RobbyMiller-bo4nu]

It’s was for Leroy. Mullet has the big block and they put the smx but took it out before they cut mullet in half. lol love Kevin at ksr and y’all.

[@roncarter445]

Freak suspensions also makes a hell of a kit for the car independent suspension and torsion bars for the back and a kit that continues the unibody to the back of the car as well and they hooked up with American headers who also made a header exhaust front to back that goes with the freak suspension awesome setup

[@rachalhollier5679]

it's not like you building another Mustang,this is going to be an amazing car,& will definitely be watching the build series no matter how long it takes. i think it's gonna be a heavy car no doubt that you need alot of power to move it.

His dream car build finally came true. Can't wait to see the next update !

[@msracing4423]

Very cool car. Very unique.

[@terra2805]

I absolutely love the oddball stuff that no one else is doing. That's why I really like Justins Lexus. I don't see the point in doing the same thing everyone else is doing. The '69 Camaro for example, it's a beautiful car no doubt but everyone and their dog has one at this point. Be original man. There's thousands of older cars to choose from that have awesome dimensions for a drag car!

[@michaelzimmerman9221]

Man I’ve been waiting for you to go back to some street racing, or at least some real no prep!

[@eddieparis6739]

Thanks for the video

[@Saladais]

Mullet was originally built at ProFab. It went to KSR to get converted to one engine only.

[@CobaltUSMC64]

Actually, they sold the car that ProFab worked on because it was stretched. Mullet was an entirely different car.

[@the318pop]

​@@CobaltUSMC64nope, sourced a new shell but the frame stayed in modified form.

[@Saladais]

@@CobaltUSMC64 Cleetus took the car to ProFab. They built a chassis that could hold a jet engine in the bed with a V8 up front. Cleetus didn't want to expose himself or his crew to enhanced dangers of the jet engine so the idea was scrapped. Mullet was then sent to KSR where the car was "reworked" for a big V8 only. It was "Frankensteined". Now, the car is getting a purpose built body and chassis for big V8 drag racing.

[@tootall4684]

Great update! Any updates on the new shop?

AMX's are really cool, very old school

[@otiskortzii442]

1970 AMX’s only came with 360’s or 390’s. Make the bumper scoops the inlets for the turbos.

[@ericnelson6982]

Engine set-up changed on Mullet, when there were several deaths in jet engines cars in a short amount of time. I beleive he bought a whole different El camino to build, because of all of the chasis work that was done for the jet engine. Mullet was LS based first and then a big block from Steve Morris. He then bought a SMX from Steve and then had Steve rebuild the big block. CJ race cars, cut Mullet in half found some rust. And decided to just buy new bed sides(quarter panels) and roof and start the build from there

[@lloydterry4796]

Nice car there.

[@ThomasHimm-ew5ye]

I usually comment as I'm watching so I see that you put 2810 files on it that's great yeah the 390 was the big block kind of motor for AMX and then the big boy was the 401 that usually you see in super stock 39401 those are the ones that are running super stock I'm not an AMX guy I like Ford and Chevy stuff I have a 67 mustang small tire drag car

[@big-n-bama48]

A lot of State Troopers ran those Javalins with 390's, they would skeet perty good, kept close to a Built 351 Cleveland back in Da Days..how do I know you ask, they didn't catch us...lol

[@chuckfowler8875]

Shawn also has a Texas Speed 427 in the 55 and if it really matters the Coyote in the F150 is a Texas Speed Coyote don't think the burnout truck is a 427 but it's a Texas Speed Brawler series motor.

[@neilbrown4320]

Did you ever see the AMX from Quaker City called, Toonersville Performance? ( I think it's spelled correctly) I have a picture I'm SURE you'd really like,, but it's in my head 😅. He did a burn-out coming up the hill,,, but just a tad toooo much. As he came up the hill at the tower booth, all you could see was the bottom! Stood it straight up on the bumper right up over the top of the hill. Think the bumper probably took the rear tires off the ground cause it slammed down kinda hard.. 😅😅😅 Quaker is still one of the absolute best for spectator. Happy Holiday season. Hope they keep nitrous up in popularity. 💟❤️🌎🌍❤️💟

[@kerrygatling663]

69-70 were the best years for the AMX.
