Ron where did you get the resin "Big Bad" car?

I bought it from Raoul Columbe aka "Sport Suburban", who posts here on the board. It's not a bad piece of resin, but it will have to be "worked" a little for fit, and it has a few minor pinholes to contend with. I got a tail lamp from the Modelhaus.

I am going to use my '68 promo as a gage for gaps, and fitments. 2006_0521momasmeeting520060007.jpg

I may even do a color change, as this green is not doing it for me.

Have always been a fan of AMC, especially late 60s & early 70s. The company has always had an underdog rep, so it was great to see successes such as the Trans Am Javelins, drag AMX, the Machine, and that little compact the SC/Rambler! Built this one quite a few years ago, using the kit decals! Wired and plumbed, weathered chassis, modified rear tailgate, detailed trunk with spare and jack (from the 65 Galaxie.

I like AMC's! I built a Jo-Han '69 AMX a few years ago;

And I got a Jo-Han '69 Rambler kit and an AMT '74 Javelin kit in the stash, both waiting to be built :)

WOW... that car is identical to a car a friend in France bought, color, stripes, wheels and tires even. 390 Drag pack car. I flew to New York, drove it to Ohio and prepared it for shipping. Very cool and fast car
