crazyjim Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 I have no idea what year this little guy is. I like the kit but the tires were too small, so I tubbed it and used a set of Pegasus wheels/tires. Paint is HOK lime gold kandy over a pavo purple base. I used the Rustoleum texture paint on the chassis and inside the trunk. There's Fatkidd style distributor and fuel filter.
ewaskew Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 Good looking little car man and nice detail work. God Bless
crazyjim Posted March 1, 2014 Author Posted March 1, 2014 Thank you Craig and Earl. It's a real nice kit to work with and wouldn't mind getting a couple more of them.
crazyjim Posted March 1, 2014 Author Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) Thank you Rich. I went to ebay looking for another kit and guess what? These Ramblers are going for $40 to $80. Maybe I should have sold the kit instead of building it - NOT. Edited March 1, 2014 by crazyjim
cobraman Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Nice little AMC. I have been watching for a kit on ebay but they do go for more than I am willing to pay.
hemi Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Very nice job on it. I think it looks great , and I love the wheels and the color.
rocklandrambler Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Sometimes you can pick up a promo model off of eBay at a reasonable price. That's what I did for the model Ramfins built for me. On all the Rambler American kits and promo models I've seen from Jo-Han they based them all on the convertible which makes the rear seat area on the hardtops WRONG.
Skydime Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Cool Rambler. The Centerline solids look right at home on it too.
MsDano85gt Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Jim i have a johan issue of the kit i have 2 the older s/c issued version and the more modern yellow street machine version (same kits) different box art, what do you have to trade?? pm me sir.....
Tom Geiger Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 I have no idea what year this little guy is. I believe it's a 1966. Johan didn't update the body when doing the SC/Rambler kit.
Austin T Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 I believe it's a 1966. Johan didn't update the body when doing the SC/Rambler kit. I believe Tom is correct, technically the SC/Hurst versions were 68's & 69's. Either way they are cool little cars. I picked up one at a swap meet for 30 and a set of Fred Cady decals to build mine.
