Thanks Zak!

Loving the work that Republic Metal Works is doing on the car. They have already done more in the last two weeks than the previous place in 5 months.

A small rust hole in the firewall has been repaired (looks factory). The cowl trough has been replaced. The Vintage Air Unit is mounted in place and several custom-fabbed mounts were made. The customer wiper motor setup is mocked up and ready to be powered up. Wiring is in process.

Excited to see this thing on the road in the spring!

Nice to see this back on track.

looking at them pictures man tell them to be careful around the grille they dent way to easy that would be the last thing on the car if it was me and its even the Ambassador one where did ya find that LOL the car is looking great by the way David

You are not kidding. Grilles are impossible to find for these things. That grille is an NOS grille that I snagged on ebay. Someone had it up for an astronomical amount of money, and I offered them less than half of what they were asking and they agreed.

I still have the original grille, although it has a crease.

great score for sure have them machine a plate that says Ramblur to cover the holes where the ambassador plate would go

You read my mind. That's exactly what we are having them do.

Update time. We went out to visit Republic Metal Works last weekend to see what they got done the past few weeks. They completed rust repairs including a replacement of the cowl tray. They also mocked-up and installed the vintage air unit under the dash. Wiring is deep in progress right now, PCM is installed in the glovebox along with fuse block. This will be nice and easy to access if necessary. A nice looking split intake is being custom made to utilize both open running lamp holes. Also considering doing a partial cage while the interior is apart to utilize for belts. Detroit Speed is now a sponsor of the Ramblur project, we will be utilizing their battery relocation kit. Looks beautiful and should distribute the weight a bit better.

I have to give it up to you for taking the Rambler on. It's crazy unique and so good looking I'm not sure why there isn't a lot more of them. Love it.

looking good one of the tuff things about doing an amc product is first finding a relatively a rust free one and if ya can't then the rust repair will kill ya new sheet metal is hard to come by you are doing this rambler to the next level thats for sure Im a amc nut to the core put not a purist by no means so the chevy engine is ok by me I would love to see this gem in person some day

Love the mods, thanks for the updates
