Sounds like our sequel could be better than our original! :biggrin:

I'm definately going to try to make it. :thumbsup:

Is this the cafe and petrol station we took photos at?

I thought not when I compared them but Ronny seems to think so.

by **drewcrane** » 21 Oct 2009 12:29

the roof line is not there,the windows dont match either

by **dave-r** » 21 Oct 2009 12:34

Yeah I think the one shown in the film there is at the far end of town.

by **drewcrane** » 21 Oct 2009 13:59

maybe some one has another pic of the surrounding area :thumbsup:

We met a guy in Goldfield and he told us the location of that old station was a few miles beyond Goldfield en route to vegas, he said all that was left were foundations and the pump bases.

Yes I was driving and we found nothing there.

That is another station altogether you are talking about there. That is the one the girl fills his tank at.

The one I am on about is right at the begining of the film when the bulldozers come into town. It is also in the backgound when Kowalski turns around at the start.

yea your right i got my places mixed up :thumbsup:

Maybe the left side was constructed with wood, instead of cinder block like the rest of it and just blew away with the Cisco wind. :lol:

It looked like someone kept horses inside for awhile. Maybe they dismantled it before it caved in, to protect the horses. :roll:

Just a theory. :s006:

Maybe they just stored horse manuer in there. :s024:

by **patrick** » 22 Oct 2009 4:15

You can see there was something attatched there, at one time. :nod:

And the roofline does match but, pretty much general construction of the time. :s023:

by **dave-r** » 22 Oct 2009 12:28

Ah THIS one is the gas station at the beginning of the film. Don't remember seeing it standing when we were there though. But I was looking at the wrong end of town so possibly missed it?

by **Moparman1972** » 26 Oct 2009 2:59

Haha thanks for the offer. It looks quite good and I'm excited to do it. If you've seen my build thread or the talk about the transaxle, you know I am now a Looooooong way away from fitting on a front spoiler. :roll:

by **dave-r** » 26 Oct 2009 8:33

It does look good on the car. :thumbsup:

by **Eddie** » 26 Oct 2009 14:33

I went to grade school with this guy!

#2 The engine is the original 360 :thumbsup:

by **Eddie** » 26 Oct 2009 14:40

#3 I really like the colour combo. I bet it's fast too,,I forgot to ask him what it weighed? It was the only AMC there and drew a LOT of attention! :thumbsup:

by **dave-r** » 09 Nov 2009 11:40

This is what I had to go through for 2 days before getting to Denver.
