After three and half years, it runs, it drives, its Eagle awesome!!! Got the last few things hooked up Saturday and it started right up!!
TOday I installed the new half shafts and took care of a couple little items here and there

AND WASHED IT!!! (almost 4 years of shop dust)

Good to see her rolling, I forgot how fun it is to drive and how many "looks" she gets!

It looks great! Nice job!

I realy like your car, The white is great but you also picked a set of rims that really fit the car. They are sporty but not abnoxious and overboard. The attention to detail on your car is great, the engine is amazing.

I am a little OCD so everything i touch gets cleaned and painted. So a normal 1 hour job could take me 6 or 7 hours. I think my Media Blast Cabinet is the best Christmas present i have ever got for myself. Almost everything that will fit in the cabinet gets a good cleaning. It makes me feel half normal when i see other people take care with their work. a little attention to detail goes a long way.

I give you a thumbs up. (egg)

Those are factory AMC Eagle rims. They are more common on later Eagles, like 1987 and 1988.

Oh, I didn't know that, They look really good, especially with the white lettering on the sidewalls

That's his old wheel and tire combo. He has different ones now.

Monkeyjoe · January 17, 2014, 01:26:15 PM

Wow, those look really good too.

I had to vote for your car as the Eagle of the Month. I really like the whole setup. I will have to live vicariously thru you and your car. My new wagon is nice but due to its clean original condition, I don't want to repaint or make any dramatic changes.

I will be returning home soon so I will be able to see and assess what needs to be done on mine. ie. detail engine and compartment, under carriage, new brakes, flush all fluids, brakes, oil, antifreeze, and transmission.

Looking forward to getting your old rims, they will be a nice upgrade to the steel wheels and plastic hubcaps.
