1974 AMC Gremlin X Street Machine

[Chuck Most]

AMT body and interior on a chassis from the AMT 1965 Rat Packer Nova. This is the third in a series of "let's use this chassis from a Nova kit under something besides a Nova" projects. ? First was a 1960 Ranchero on the 66 Pro Street chassis, then the 1962 Oldsmobile F85 on a Moebius 65 Nova gasser chassis, and now this.

I built the Hudson 308 engine years ago for a rat rod that went another direction, so it finally got used here. The 8 bolt truck wheels with floating hubs were from Scenes Unlimited. Paint is Tamiya Park Green, same color I used on the engine years ago, except that was airbrushed from a jar and the body is rattle can. I stole the side mirrors from a 1970 Super Bee. The side pipe is from a 1953 Ford F100 flip nose.

Wow!

Very cool build. I like that color green.

Some nice detail work and creative cross-kitting too. I'm betting that 308 would give this a bit more pep than the Hudson it came from! ?
