A bit off-topic, maybe, but I was just wondering...

Is there any other car or vehicle spelling out loud "America" like an Eagle ?

I mean, the brand is "AMERICAN Motors Corporation" and the model is named after one of the best known American emblems, the Eagle... also in commercials it was named "American Eagle".

I keep thinking about it but I can't recall a car more "American" than that...

Hey Don!! Just confirming what we were talking about...Eagle owners being the nicest people....I was parctically given a  1986 wagon today by that guy that comes into the store all the time!! It runs, has new tires, rust free, and has a strait body!! He told me hes getting up there in years and really has no need for two of these cars (he has an 80 sedan too) and told me he knows how much I love these cars and let me have it for 100.00...he just wants to keep the tail lights!!..The crusher offered him 350.00!! what an amazing guy!!

Shanebo you said  "Do you have any plans on rust proofing the underside...I'm kinda looking for ideas myself on rust proofing..mine too is fairly rust free and Id love to keep it that way."

 If you could get your car to Rhode Island you can get a great undercoating job done at Rust Tech. The company that has made AMC Rocker Panel Replacement kits. I've heard POR 15 is good and so is a product called Rust Bullet. Has anyone ever used any of those products?

I gotta do somthing or Ill live in constant paranoia of rust...Im already catching myself crawling around on all fours looking for the tinyest spot of rust....I had several eagles in the past that rusted out kinda bad...Its so hard to fix it once it starts!! I noticed the zbart stuff is drying up and cracking in spots...a perfect little home for moisture to fester.

Ill have to do some research too Don....I hate to be one of those guys that only drive their Eagle on dry sunny days...But I am so worried about rust on this one...Its the cleanest Eagle I ve ever owned and would love to keep it that way :)

There are so many little nooks and cranny's rust can call home on these cars. Im gonna have to go over the 86 good to when I get it. After I clean off the 3 inches of dried mud on the undercarriage that is ;D

I hope Silver gets a clean bill of heath when you get it home ;D
