Did you buy this one?

Why is it parked on "Butt Henge"?

Or..... Is it parked just outside of the "Butt Cave"?

;)


Is it an AMX or a Javelin?
Looks like a very solid project!
I've always liked the looks of these cars. :cool:

I will say that that the javelin is in my top 5 coolest cars ever category. I cant wait to see your progress. Those dashes are sooo cool for the driver. And I love all the curves.

I just told wifey thats the way its going to be.... I have to much house for the 2 of us. Plus my other 2 car garage is attached at the basement where Pixels room is now.

I have a total of 4 car garage--- 2 up and 2 down....

I could always put a mattress down there if I get in the dog house....;)

03-17-2008, 07:05:59 PM
If you have the interior outta one of them, you could throw the mattress in, and get up off the floor!!

BTTB71SS
03-17-2008, 07:18:37 PM
Jim you are funny. Problem is my upstairs garage isn't heated and my 2 other restores are in there. The DD's are all outside...

I guess i could put a mattress is Pixel's car ;) The interior is out of that one.

Jim Stokkeland
03-17-2008, 07:24:14 PM

When I was working on mine, I had parts in the dining room (like we ever use that space), the breakfast room, the office, the bedroom and the kids playroom. Before I start my next one, I really need a shop.
