test fit the rear rims gonna be tight next week put the rear tires on going with 285 40 18 on the rear ...http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...ps2iljsuso.jpg...http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...psje5sdion.jpg..http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...psipyce0j1.jpg..http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...psfmdkufjg.jpg...and the modified strut rod bracket fir the 5 speed conversion...http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...psyrir0gor.jpgand the clutch bell crank ..http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...psdgqd7qfe.jpg

Very Nice.

Car looks great! I think the 285's will be fine. I just put 315's on my Rebel that is on air and didn't need to touch the inside of the wheelwell or the outside lip. Since it is lowered, I did need to cut a section out of the wheelwell that angles down and outward from the middle of the well toward the lip.

that inner fender well was on my radar also man that car is looking sweet believe it or not I was thinking about red rims also we need more pics of your Rebel

Ha! That's funny. I was considering black wheels. I love the painted steel wheel look but a 17x11 steel wheel was waayyy too heavy. These are aluminum but, apparently like you, it took forever to get them. Once I did get them they were wrong and had to go back to be redone!

I don't want to hijack your build thread with my pics but I would be glad to send you pics of my build. It is very similar to yours.

I am really looking forward to your posts.

well tires are mounted ..stripes gotta go I thought the might work but I'm not crazy about them that 285 rear tire disappears in that rear wheel well lol and the front will come down with the control freak suspension installed once i get it and UPS don't loose it again so here is a few pictures ..http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...ps3uhjqhrn.jpg...http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...pssinaef2o.jpg...http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...psdj7ol5cv.jpg..http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...ps0argtxvo.jpg...http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...pse9a2yo0f.jpg...http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...psqpqr6gfc.jpg..http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...psn6j4tvpt.jpg..http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...pskqenwoqj.jpg...http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...psbk7p3f8f.jpg..http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...psj21dwgno.jpg..http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...pspij3pcod.jpg...http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...psqmgsuftp.jpg....should look really good with Red wilwood calipers front and rear

Sweet build and sucks about loosing major parts but it will all work out for you.

got all 4 on today to figure out whats next rear still has air in shocks front needs a couple inches taken out of the front then it should be sitting about right stripes are gone and it looks like a completely different car ...http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...pssphs0f3h.jpg....http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...psqyx6icfz.jpg.....http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...psnlog7ngj.jpg..http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...pslutcsvcp.jpg..http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...ps6w0ac50g.jpg...http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...pssm3umb0d.jpg

Man, those wheels makes the car look like a whole new car. And I like the no-stripe look much better too. Very nice!!

Looks good! I think it's going to look great once you get the suspension on there and can bring it down a bit. Good luck moving forward!

x 2........................

nice choice, it looks great.

so got a couple projects first ic dash cluster picked up a tail light from a chrysler van lots of LEDs inside so lets put them inside the cluster....http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...pslsrmcbgc.jpghttp://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...ps58ap1twr.jpg....this is kinda the layout ..http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...pszigsun5s.jpg...http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...pspivbqgvs.jpg...and this is kinda the look it will have ...http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...psvbsenp4h.jpg

Just sayin, it's nice to see an American motors project . Your rebel is takin shape. Since we don't see many or any 67 rebels anymore , the overall look reminds me of the 68-69 Holden monaro body shape , thanks for sharing

I'm really digging your ride. Should be a blast!!!

thanks Guys lots more to do but its to darn cold lately

Great choice for a build! looking forward to seeing the progress!

Very nice! I had a friend in high school that bought a Rambler "The Machine". one of the nicest cars i've seen. He actually bought the car a couple of years after graduation.

well here i go again been kicking this around for awhile just trying to be different and make the Rebel more memorable LOL what ya guys think its only on the hood for now......http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...psm6gp1dse.jpg..http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...psxn22yrni.jpg..http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...psdtuh0qha.jpg...http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...psuhwvebph.jpg...http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...psafecq7xk.jpg...http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...psojwhnpyi.jpg

I like it a lot- ties in nice with your wheels.

You have my blessing to proceed. :RunninDog:

looks sweet!

Funny the guys on the AMC forum don't care for the stripe but the guys here do thanks for comments

Nice!

snows is a coming took the car for a little spin and took a few with the gopro...http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...psl9dae58p.jpg...http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...ps2jydcgon.jpg..http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...pslhs2tezc.jpg..http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...pskywd1d2w.jpg..http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...ps2jydcgon.jpg

I don't mind the stripe too much but i think it would be a lot better if the "fat" part was somewhere around twice as wide or so. just too skinny of a stripe on that big hood for me.

What i do love on this car is the "bullets" in the front fenders and rear quarter panels that tie into the bumpers, but the bumpers being chrome just throws off the flow a lot. I think it would look sweet to paint match the bumpers and then black out the complete grill and headlight buckets and have the chrome trim on it in red like the VW GTI's do? just thinking out loud lol

well Scott we think a lot alike never thought about blacking out the grille though and the red sounds kinds neat too bumpers were on my radar from the get go but very hard to find and i really don't what to do it to these bumpers for the reason thinking about a six inch wide stripe instead of 4 inch so well see and thanks for thinking out loud ..... David

had the new windshield installed today and they did a great job the guy that painted the car had the moldings siliconed on why no idea the pins were all there for the clips so it all back with the clips like it should be so heres a couple pics the mirrors came out great with turn signals behind the mirror and the red looks pretty good too something a little different .....http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...psv5gsqrrz.jpg....http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...pst1degvvb.jpg....http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...psmhjqb4pu.jpg...http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...pszjzobfbz.jpg....http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...psekp7pbvh.jpg...http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...psasrpg6jp.jpg...http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...psqrexhepq.jpg..http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...psfijdtain.jpghttp://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...psfet5fllt.jpg.....
