Popular hot rodding 10/65 had 6 page article of Bill Kraft Rambler.

Specs:

- 426 Hemi with hillborn fuel injection, 640 hp

- Jardine headers

- torqueflite automatic transmission

- Marlin radiator and moon tank

- narrowed Pontiac '57 4.50 rear with coil springs but no shocks

- '56 olds trailing arms

- straight front axle with quarter elliptic springs

- Cragar wheels

- Gates front tires, 10:00x15 M&H rear

- Floor shifter with Marlin console

- bucket seat, plexi-glass and cage type roll bars

- 12 foot Carter cross-form chute

- front wheels has moved 4" and rear wheels 11" ahead

I have collected most of these parts from different kits. Front tires, headers and trailing arms are still missing.

Sorry abot this episode but I'm very excited of the kit.

Very nice casting but needs a lot of extra parts and work to complete.
