1965 Rambler American 440

[Joe Lange]

Greetings all,

While taking intermittent breaks from my '47 Crosley build, I decided to pull out all the Jo-Han/Rambler pieces and glue-bombs I have accumulated and try to put something together.  This started as a '65 'promo' piece with a cracked rear window.  Cut out the hood and trunk lids, cleaned off the 'flashing', and added the engine compartment panels from a Jo-Han 'Pro Street Rambler' glue-bomb.  Also have the trunk interior for later.  Got a couple of Rambler straight six, 232 engines.  Thinking of building one with dual single barrel carbs for something different.     Stay tuned!

*pulls up a chair* Question. What's a glue-bomb?

A model that was put together with copious amounts of (usually) tube glue. EVERYBODY has at least one, but NOBODY will admit it...

A model that has so much glue it looks like the modeler blew up a glue tube on it. Also an older model that was previously owned by someone else and acquired for rehabilation or for parts.
