mike 51 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 (edited) Anyone interested in building one of these should contact Don Holthaus.He has had this in his line for several years.I did the original master for him from one of his resin metros a long time ago. Tom..this isn't based on the (Nash) Metro Don put(s) out, the only "real" Nash I can remember Don putting out was Paul Hettick's 50 Ambassador. I got one of these Ramblers about 20+ years ago from a caster named Mike (I can't remember his last name), who passed away soon after.

horsepower Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 There's a wagon that's smaller and plainer than the Ambassador, this is that one isn't it? By full size, I meant it's not based on the Metropolitan body style. Sorry for not being very clear on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This kit has nothing to do with the Metropolitans ..they were really Austins (to make it even more confusing) although they were called Nashs,even Hudsons briefly. Yes.. Nash had three lines of cars "compact" >>the Rambler wagon (that in this case has been converted to a sedan delivery). and two full-sized Nashs>> big n bigger (wheel base and trim differences) No need at all to be sorry..

jeffs396 Posted July 9, 2015 Author Share Posted July 9, 2015 Here's kinda where I'm looking to be with the logo... These are Slixx 1/4" letters. I'm diggin' the gold leaf look, but it needs something more, maybe a red outline, or some pinstriping, or??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jantrix Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 How about adding a red painted panel behind it, sorta billboard style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
promoman Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I remember the "bath tub" Nash from the 50's when I was a kid. Nice so far, anxious to see the finished car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadhawg Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I dunno. If it was MINE, ................ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffs396 Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 Tommy! I'm impressed! If I had your computer/photoshop skills, I would have done something like that. And then wouldn't that require an Alps printer? Sooo, with my limited resources, I'm piecing together separate letter decals and dressing them up somehow... Thanks for taking the time to show what COULD be! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Looking good! I've built this one as well- I cobbled together a full chassis for it so I could use an AMC V8. Looks like your hood fit way better than mine did- I had to trim about 1/16" off the rear edge so it wouldn't have an "overbite" going.
