BHarrison Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 This is the 1961 Rambler I have been working on. I bought it online last month. Its been stripped, a few mild body mods, interior is getting highly modified for the rear wheel wells and the full length console. The bumpers have been smoothed down and their bumper guards removed. The grille is getting a photoetched insert and the body has been polished down some for the clear coat to be shot as soon as weather permits. Thanks for looking and have a blessed day! This is where I started a little over a week ago.... Here it is now.... More pics once I get the interior roughed in and the clearcoat on....stay tuned.....

The wheels are from a Maisto die cast and they are Billet Specialties "Fuelie". They scale out at 20"/22" approximately. Thanks for the comments guys I really appreciate it very much!

BHarrison Posted March 3, 2012 Author Share Posted March 3, 2012 Hey guys! I came back to post more progress pics and realized that I had zapped my thread when I did a cleanup of my photobucket. I got the car polished out this week, the bumpers are curing in the black phase of getting Alclad, and the interior is painted and has begun assembly. Thanks for looking! Before.... Now..... Paint is polished out.... and the interior is made up, mocked up, and started to be painted up.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darquewanderer Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Did you change your photobucket files. Most pics are missing. Of the few left, I'd say well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I really like this blocky bodystyle from Kenosha. Nice work on the P/E grille insert. Was that a generic piece or was it originally designed for a different model/kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gautreau Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I have to ask.What did you use on the seats and doorpanels for paint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BHarrison Posted March 8, 2012 Author Share Posted March 8, 2012 I have to ask.What did you use on the seats and doorpanels for paint? Its Rustoleum Texture paint. Its alot less prominent once the interior is in the car. It ends up looking like Man Made Ultra Suede which is popular in 1:1 rods right now.
