mangodart Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Hi guys, her I am with a new built. A 70 Rebel The Machine, built from a Johan kit. It's a car I wanted to reproduce for a long time, might be good for me to wait as the decals part became quite a nightmare, it became like powder when I put them ont the body... And that wasn't the original one but an aftermarket sheet... Anyway I try my best to save it and I'm quite happy of the results, I let you judge !!! Some improvement on the engine bay and on the chassis. Tires are the new AMT package, and are exactly the good ones for the car. Hope you'll like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peekay Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 That is really nice!!! One contributing reason why these kits are rare: I once threw TWO of them in the trash! I'd bought them for about $5 each, needed to make some room, and didn't think it worth the effort to try and sell them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1930fordpickup Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Good to see a valuable collector kit made into a nice model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High octane Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Really nice job on that Rebel as I just saw one built up at our club meeting last night. However, it didn't look nearly as nice as yours. Great job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mangodart Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 Thanks for all the nice comments !!! I was lucky enough to find this kit in the 80ies while I was still a teenager, for a reason I can't explain ( or remember ) I decide to keep it unbuilt until now....I also find a built model a few years ago which is gonna be restored but with a classic paint scheme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Force Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Great build. I like the special "Hurst" Ramber/AMC cars, both the Hurst Rambler S/C and this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, yes that was it's name, they first think of painted it mat black, there's a prototype like this, but finally the first thousand cars were painted this scheme and the other could be afford at every color of the catalog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
