BHarrison Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 This is the 1961 Rambler I have been working on. I bought it online last month. Its been stripped, a few mild body mods, interior is getting highly modified for the rear wheel wells and the full length console. The bumpers have been smoothed down and their bumper guards removed. The grille is getting a photoetched insert and the body has been polished down some for the clear coat to be shot as soon as weather permits. Thanks for looking and have a blessed day! This is where I started a little over a week ago.... Here it is now.... More pics once I get the interior roughed in and the clearcoat on....stay tuned.....
Bartster Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 I love this out of the ordinary stuff. Definitely my kind of build. looks hot dressed in yellow. Stance is perfect, wheels make it pop.
imatt88 Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Way to go Bryan! Another classic saved from the garbage! Nice paint job, love the color

ItsThePaint! Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 this is awesome! What kind of wheels are those?
BHarrison Posted February 21, 2012 Author Posted February 21, 2012 this is awesome! What kind of wheels are those? The wheels are from a Maisto die cast and they are Billet Specialties "Fuelie". They scale out at 20"/22" approximately. Thanks for the comments guys I really appreciate it very much!
GeeBee Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 That's certainly different to when you go it, love the paintwork, looking forward to seeing more ....
BHarrison Posted February 25, 2012 Author Posted February 25, 2012 Here are some pics of the interior in progress....
CHEVY2MUCH Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 Hey Brian why don't you build a model of your chevy 2
BHarrison Posted March 3, 2012 Author Posted March 3, 2012 Hey guys! I came back to post more progress pics and realized that I had zapped my thread when I did a cleanup of my photobucket. I got the car polished out this week, the bumpers are curing in the black phase of getting Alclad, and the interior is painted and has begun assembly. Thanks for looking! Before.... Now..... Paint is polished out.... and the interior is made up, mocked up, and started to be painted up....
darquewanderer Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 Did you change your photobucket files. Most pics are missing. Of the few left, I'd say well done.
BHarrison Posted March 6, 2012 Author Posted March 6, 2012 (edited) Completed the interior today.... Also got the Alclad on the bumpers and grille along with the photoetch insert installed...... Edited March 6, 2012 by BHarrison
Casey Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 I really like this blocky bodystyle from Kenosha. Nice work on the P/E grille insert. Was that a generic piece or was it originally designed for a different model/kit?

BHarrison Posted March 8, 2012 Author Posted March 8, 2012 I got alot done today. I installed the interior and the bumpers and grille. Suspension is done. I also turned two aluminum headlight bezels. She is getting close! All I lack is the belly pan and its finished.
gautreau Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 I have to ask.What did you use on the seats and doorpanels for paint?
BHarrison Posted March 8, 2012 Author Posted March 8, 2012 I have to ask.What did you use on the seats and doorpanels for paint? Its Rustoleum Texture paint. Its alot less prominent once the interior is in the car. It ends up looking like Man Made Ultra Suede which is popular in 1:1 rods right now.
