Super28 Posted June 23, 2023 Author Posted June 23, 2023 6 hours ago, Force said: 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. Well heck, should I trash it?
Force Posted June 23, 2023 Posted June 23, 2023 Naah finish it...it's the only one available. I built one of these several years ago, didn't open up the doors tho'. Even if it's not a totally correct model it looks pretty nice on the shelf. I have a few more in the stash of wich a couple are the Testors version from 2007 with a photoetch fret where the side markers and emblems are on, and also a 1970 Rebell Machine wich I will build some day.

Those sound real nice. If you build one be sure to post it
drodg Posted June 23, 2023 Posted June 23, 2023 I built this kit numerous years ago. I didn't do all the work on it you are doing. I believe I used Keith Marks decals. Keep up the good work.
