please oh please take lots of pictures of both the kammback interior and the gremlin interior.  Right now the interior is out of the kammback and i will be the first to admit i am clueless on how it goes together or how it is to look once together

I'll take some Gremlin pictures tomorrow.  I'm going to drive it out to the Rambler Ranch to drop off a starter.  The Kammback will be delayed a little, hopefully not more than a couple weeks before I get it back from the body shop.  I'll look around to see if I have any previous pictures of the KBack interior, but I don't think I do.

The Kammback is ready for it's relocation!!!!!  Today me and my father went back out to the kammback and got it running and moving, installed the "mover" wheels and tires, gathered up most of the pieces and brought them home, and installed a seat.  I also got some pictures!!!!




there's how she looks as of now, the wheels (movers) are 1994 ford ranger wheels with the hub holes trimmed out

where is the 4x4 selector switch?  My first eagle was an 82 kammback, and the only real issue I had was it leaked bad around the hatch window and it started to rust around the seal.  It looks good though with those wheels, keep the pics coming.........

Yup, they are 90 something ford ranger wheels that i got from my cousin because he fell in love with the steelies I had on my wagon (95 Cherokee)  I mainly use those wheels (that are on the kammback for now) for when I do bodywork and painting on fords, Jeeps, and AMCs.  i have yet to stain them up which really surprises me

Well, surprisingly, when the driver came to pick the Kammback up today, we wanted to drive it onto the trailer, and she started up almost immediately, not much smoke, and he drove her onto the trailer.
Whole thing took more than a half hour, I'm gonna miss her, but I'm glad TheReverendBill will be able to take better care of her and fix her up quicker than I could

the anticipation is killing me I feel like I did the night each of my children where born.  I got a call and pictures from TOATOTEN (the official auto transporter of the eagle nest ;D) and eagle number 3 should be home here within the hour.   These pictures are little dark, but boy it sure does look good riding the rails

I wonder what the Kammback is thinking?  Last time, probably, that it was on an auto transport is when it went to the dealership to wait to be adopted.
