prowillys Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Cool project, Ricky. I love those headers. Did you make them yourself or are they out of another kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I don't think I've ever seen it before, thanks! It looks better than the Marlin, but that might be just because the rear wheel openings are larger. It looks at least as good as those weird fastback 1st Gen Chevy IIs--no, it definitely looks better. Not a fan of the quarter window shape, but I think I could do better. Okay, who has a roached glue-bomb Marlin body they want to send me to build one? If you are going the full phantom or one-off factory prototype route, why limit yourself to the Marlin roof profile? Graft on a roof from the MPC 69 Barracuda. By 69, the larger Rebels and Ambassadors had a shorter quarter window with a swept up beltline just like the 'cuda, and the roof is size-proportional for a contemporary compact like the Rambler American Edited January 29, 2019 by garagepunk66 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclescott58 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Keith Marks up in Winnipeg, if not frozen right now, I believe offers decals for the SC/Rambler. I think that's were I got mine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prowillys Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Well I finally finished up my Rambler. Got it done in the hotel the night before NNL East a few weeks ago. I would have liked to do a few things better but overall I’m pretty happy with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Wow, that is a SHARP build of that model! Can't remember when I've seen a better one! Well done and model on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowillys Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Thanks for the kind words. I had a good time building this one. I cut it to the wire but it made it to the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
