New Video: Making the Gremlin/Pacer DVD
Saturday-March 29, 2008
You might love old cars, and you're good with a wrench. At Torq-O, we love orphan cars, but we're better with a video camera.
We've just posted a new video on YouTube that we think you'll like. It's a behind-the-scenes look at how we produced all of the media for our upcoming Gremlin/Pacer DVD. Watch below, and enjoy!
Production Update: this sucker is 90% done! I still have to create introductions for two of the movies on the DVD, but everything else is ready to go.
Bottom line: the DVD that all of you have been patiently waiting for will start shipping near the end of April.

Why do AMC fans want to throw Hot Rod Magazine into a raging tire fire?
Friday-March 07, 2008
Hot Rod did a bad, bad thing.
In its April 2008 issue, writer Steve Stanford gave us the scoop on "the biggest story of the year, and no one saw it coming." His six page article is stuffed with details about the resurgence of AMC. He even had illustrations of modernized AMC classics like the Javelin, the AMX, the Gremlin, the Pacer, the Ambassador, and even the Matador coupe as visual proof that the brand was coming back.
But then you get to the very bottom of the article where you learn that "...Hot Rod and Steve Stanford have been jacking with you-APRIL FOOLS!"
AMC fans have responded with all the humor of a Marine drill sergeant. Check out the responses on The AMC Forum. Over at the HotRod.com General Topics Forum, the response has ranged from "Chrysler are you listening? This is your chance to make a difference and make AMERICAN mean something! American Motors! Do it!" to "Do you know how many guys I have to tell that I'm a dumb ass - for not reading the fine print!"
To the editors at Hot Rod: look both ways before crossing the street. Some AMC fan might want to turn you into a hood ornament.
