[Hi-Po]

Simply beautiful and great color choice.

Wow. Excellent work on this- I am glad you committed to diving in and bringing this build across the finish line.

I agree with everyone else, simply a beautiful build with an excellent color. Very nicely detailed.

Nicely done, it's a nice conversion.

Beautiful! Gorgeous color, too. Always wanted one of those kits, but I've been lucky enough to get a couple others. Hope you don't mind me sharing this, but I think the orange and blue would look nice sitting on a shelf, together.

Looks great! I like the color choice and you put in a lot of good details.

Beautiful build of a rare kit! Love the paint!

Great looking paint color and finish. Like the clean showroom style build. 

[Supernurd]

That's a beauty!  ?

The only thing I'd change is the zip code. Really nice work. What paint did you end up using?

Thanks Dave.  After several spoon tests the best I could come up with was Tamiya clear orange lacquer over Testors Chrysler bronze lacquer.

Very clean build. I love the orange! It would be amazing if some of those old Johan kits could be reissued....

Bummer. I wish I would have bought more Johan kits as a kid...

What a beautiful model. Lovely work all around. It's great to see a rare old kit built, and so nicely done.

I always thought these were one of the nicest looking cars of the late 60s. They always seemed under-appreciated, though I guess that's AMC in general. This kit has been at the top of my want list for over a dozen years now. They must be very expensive, though just how much as hard to tell since in all that time so very few have become available. And I won't be spending collector money on one, because I do intend to build it if I get one.

This is stunning.  Love the color.

Now that really is cool, great color choice & very nice build & detailing.  I've always had a liking for those later 60's AMC Rebels.  Thank you for sharing, because that is a great build!
