Just wanted to say hello to all. I just bought an AMC Eagle 1982 sedan. I have rebuilt a few classics in my day always wanted to try my hand at one of these! She is going to need allot of love and I'll have many questions I'm sure I look forward to hearing from you guys and getting some insight, see you guys around!

Welcome to the family!  These are great classics and so underappreciated.  It's nice to hear they're being restored; and not just the wagon that's by far the most common that I see on the road.

My deepest sympathies on your new Eagle purchase!   Kidding!   Yeah, they have quirks; but not too many.  And you'll be the star of any cruise-in you go to!

Welcome to the Den.
