I have a dust cover from a AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l if it'll fit.

Oh wow dude thanks for the offer. I’m almost done with this one so I’m going to use it

And the AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l cover should fit theV8s as well because the bolt pattern is the same

One day I’m going to have to meet you to say hi

Sounds good. And just for future reference, I have a complete Sheet Metal company at my beck and call.

Are you welding it up yourself or having someone else do it?o

At least you’re getting good at the assembly/disassembly

It was actually pretty easy, I had it disassembled, cleaned and in a box in 1.5 hours
