Probable last post on the SC360 for 2025.
Car is put away in the garage for the winter.
Beginning to order parts to make it nicer in 2026.

The rear suspension badly needs a rebuild. The left rear leaf spring has basically given up and sits 1.5” lower than the right side. Along with the springs the shackles will get rebushed and cleaned/painted.

Both doors need complete rebuilds with all rubbers and hinges. Along with replacing the carpet and finally installing a shifter boot so hot air isn’t constantly blowing on me when driving. I put some miles on the car this summer and that got old fast. Though it didn’t stop me from driving it.

The stroker engine is coming along, unfortunately I ran into issues with my crank machinist and had to repossess my crank from him last week. Hopefully by next week it’ll be in the mail to Michigan to be cut by a guy who’s done this job before, and for cheaper than what my local guy was going to charge me.

Marty loves this car, and I really want to work on it to make it safer and more reliable so we can take a ton of road trips in this as he gets older.

Probably not in 2026, but in 2027 I’d also like to do bodywork and repaint it in its original C1 Golden Lime Metallic. I’ve seen AMX’s done in this color, and it’s stunning when done right.

Thanks for reading. Will update when stroker 360 stuff happens. But otherwise the car is tucked away for now.
