BigEdsGarage Posted December 1, 2010 Posted December 1, 2010 I started this for a club contest but never finished it. Its back on the bench now though, and I am feeling ambitious. I picked up a nicely cast resin body from the NNL East show several years back. I have no idea who made it or what the company name was, but I think it was based of an old Johan kit. It fits perfectly over the chassis from one of the Looney Tunes Bugs Bunny Rambler toy that was out a while ago. It will have a stock interior with exception of the wheel tubs and I'll scratch a cage and package tray for it. The hood will open forward like a Vette's and I am tempted to graft in a Ford style teardrop scoop. The motor will be a cammer Ford that will most likely have some sort of scratch built modern style fuel injection or perhaps turbo'd. I've already made a firewall and radiator support and a Mustang GT donated the rad and electric fans. Pegasus rotors fit inside the wheels nicely. It won't be super detailed since the chassis is a one piece unit but this should be a fun project of a car you don't see too frequently. I'm envisioning black paint with a multi-toned red interior and red motor, with a bunch of satin silver/brushed aluminum detailing inside and under hood.
RTK434 Posted December 1, 2010 Posted December 1, 2010 Very cool!!! Can't wait to see more of this one. A rambler is the next car on my 1:1 list to build. I've been really tempted by a few I saw for sale recently. Probably end up putting the motor from my camaro in it. Should be fun in a car that size.
shucky Posted December 1, 2010 Posted December 1, 2010 That is really awesome! Cant wait for updates.
crazyjim Posted December 1, 2010 Posted December 1, 2010 Gotta keep my eye on this build. Looks like it's gonna be cool.
Casey Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 Whatever happened with this build, Ed? I hope it's moving forward and/or was completed. Also, were you able to identify who cast the body? Maybe someone else reading this knows?
Dr. Cranky Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 Different and wonderful subject matter. Keep it going.
surfjunke Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 Looks really cool so far. Very different & I like it.
