#3 1969 Rambler SC

[Super28]

Doing the frame and body in Createx pearl white over Createx Opaque white. Can you tell it's pearled?

[Shambles]

Impressive work! Love those old Johan models. I built a ton of 'em back in the day.

[Super28]

Some embossing powder in the truck section. Going to like this!

[Super28]

OK, Finished the frame. Move on to #4, 1960 Ford. Getting bored with this one. Time to move on!

OK, Cut the doors from the interior tub. Now comes the modifying the body to get the interior tub to fit and making the door jams. Oh joy, (not!) 

[Super28]

Working on the interior now. Going with black and bare metal foil. Sanded down the molded pedals. Went into parts box and found a set I like. Going with black embossing powder for carpet. Check out pics and tell me what you think

[Super28]

Did the carpet in black embossing powder from Hobby Lobby. Did the mat in Tamiya gloss black

[Super28]

Kinda try fit. i think it will look great when i finish. Comments? Suggestions?

[Super28]

Pedals from Parts Box with photo etch overlays. Will mount behind the dash and hang down

Used 44 of these bolt heads to get 20 of them for the wheels. The other 24 went flying somewhere. Sure I'll find them over time, when I don't want to

I moved around some furniture in my model room to install my new paint booth. I have a hardwood floor. I scraped the entire floor area with a business card and put the resulting pile of dust, hair etc into a shoebox lid.., what did I find?  Photo etch wheel weights and seat belt buckles, a kit door handle, several brass dollhouse nails and a few small kit parts I didn’t even realize I was missing!

I have carpet in mine. Hate to vacuum the room cause every time I do it sounds like a machine gun going off. Never find anything when I dump it, but I know there was something in it!

Working on the door jams now. Then should be able to paint the body

[Super28]

I'm back!

[Super28]

Well, this is a good way to start back!

Put the foot end of a pantyhose over the vacuum hose nozzle, and vacuum away!

good idea, thanks

It's a challenging kit and the old plastic seems to be very brittle.
But I hate to disappoint you, this kit is not a 1969, it's Jo-Han's 1966 Rambler American kit with decals and a few other parts to make it look like the 1969 Hurst Rambler SC...but the body itself is a 1966.
The rear panel was changed 1967 and the tail lights became taller and narrower and was pretty much the same to 1969, 1968 was side markers mandated wich the kit also doesn't have.
