Sport Suburban Posted December 13, 2010 Posted December 13, 2010 This is a Johan 70 Rebel Machine. This build fought with me a few times. The replacement decals I got were no good and tore easily. I got a third set from Keith Marks and that is what is on it now. The hood scoop decided to pop off after it was glued on and damaged the paint. So the hood got sanded and repainted. I know this kit has a lot of inaccuracies but I chose to only fix the one that bothered me most. I tossed the cross ram and used a resin intake, carb and aircleaner from the Johan 69 SC/Rambler kit. I made the molds myself and will cast up some more for other AMC's. I also used a small piece of styreen for the underhood section of the air box.
charlie8575 Posted December 13, 2010 Posted December 13, 2010 You did a nice job replicating the paint, which, even with decals, is a bear. Nice work on the chassis, too. Charlie Larkin
W-409 Posted December 13, 2010 Posted December 13, 2010 Nice job with it. Paintjob looks really good and those decals are very nice! This kit is "must have". Modifications to the chassis and engine wouldn't be bad thing. Yours is looking very good anyways and big pluspoint for building this rare kit.
Harold Posted December 13, 2010 Posted December 13, 2010 Beautiful job on your Rebel . Too bad Johan dropped the ball and depicted the car with a torque tube instaed of an open driveshaft.
DRG Posted December 13, 2010 Posted December 13, 2010 A lot of people did not like the Rebel and I suppose it had it's problems but I liked it. good job, looks real good.
Randytheroadrunner Posted December 13, 2010 Posted December 13, 2010 That Machine looks great! I test drove one, and almost bought it, but ended up buying a new Road Runner instead.
davyou5 Posted December 14, 2010 Posted December 14, 2010 If you have anything to Rebel against, that car would it!.... Just kidding. Excellent Build B) B) .
Matt P Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 What a spectacular build, you don't see too many Machines around.
