Clean machine! New car for you guys or is it a gradual re-do of a car you've had a long time?

Re: 1969 AMX bracket car make over
We've owned the car since 1982. It was origanelly a 343 4speed car. The cars seen several make overs and this last transformation has taken 5 years but is nearing completion. The last time the car was raced it had a 9.5 to 1 390 with a hydraulic cam and 904 with a 3500 stall and 4.10s in the back and ran 11.50s at that time it had a 6 point mild steel bar and stockish suspenion.

Sounds like a nice project. Always loved the AMX.
What engine had the tunnel ram on it that is in the background? |

a few more just showing were the leaf spring sliders bolt to the cage figure we could use spacers here to raise or lower the car if necessary. and subframe connectors and drive shaft loop.

Sweet car. When I was a kid Wally Booth lived in my neighborhood. I remember his son had a really cool AMX.
