Another nice" Rambling Rambler" .you just don`t see those on the road these days.There will some people who will mistake it for a Dodge.Good luck on your build.

done couple things while i wait for front suspension to show up I installed the rear sway bar thanks to Kwhizz for making spacer changed over the gas pedal from the crazy floor mounted pedal to the later model pedal also installed electronic ingnition and the wife drove it for the first time the other day...http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...ps9ff9pbk6.jpg..http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...pszjsifxe5.jpg..http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...psqcmdknyk.jpg..http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...ps37jq0quw.jpg

front suspension should be here Friday from control freak so in the mean time been looking at doing LED tail lights in the Rebel and i was in Menards today and seen these trailer replacements LED lights 18 bucks each so picked up two a right and a lefthttp://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...psztrfstvo.jpg... got home took rear housing offhttp://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...ps9zykatoj.jpg... had to lower bumper to remove them nothing easy so took the light completely apart and fit the board inside the housing ..http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...ps2mukfuit.jpg now even have side light alsohttp://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...psxedsphyw.jpg...lots of screws holding all this together so here is the before pic of tail light on....http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...pst5wylnjy.jpg,,,seams to fill up lens more and after pic...http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...psbekyt6cp.jpg...

Nice idea on the tail lights they came out nice. That Ken is a real hotrodder.
Nice project.

You won't be pulling up alongside another, that's for sure.

Neat project.

:ups:

Nice work on the tail lights. Are they nice and bright during the day too?

I drove the car today and had a friend follow me and he said they were 100 times better than stock 1157 bulbs

Great looking AMC, you could probably find a wreck car with a T56 to use for a manual swap, that's what I did I bought a wrecked Z28 and salvaged the LT1/T56, leather seats, and center consule and when it was all said and done I paid basically $1070 and that's well below what people are selling them for on ebay and Craigslist by them selves.

well still no front end from control freak going on 9 weeks now was to be delivered on or before sept 23 getting a little frustrated called there twice Al said should be going out tue the 4 called again on the 10th said just gat back from power coat they are finishing up installing ball joints and what ever else they install .... nothing yet

For 1967, to me, the Rebel was by far the best looking intermediate out there. Clean lines and not too big and heavy. Good job. Just do it right.

Great build!

When I was in high school, a friend had a '70 model "The Machine" based off this car. One of the coolest cars i'd ever seen.

wtf they lost my front suspension how do you lose a 215 lb box on a pallet called them (UPS Freight ) yesterday they think its still in Milwaukee going on 11 weeks now just hope its all there when they find to dang thing thanks for the compliments on the car

so no word from UPS other than file a claim so i started work on the rear control arms took them off had them boxed in and new bushing installed ..http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...pszuafiv32.jpg..http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...psf6zjtqr9.jpg...and picked up the clutch and pedal assembly little rough but its complete..http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...pszdauxzqv.jpg..http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...psa1sl6i2q.jpg..http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...psmy5gydi9.jpg..http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...psyaspdgc5.jpg..http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...pslda0guzg.jpg...and picked up these LED lights for front parking light conversion..http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...pscebcbbhw.jpg

That is a sweet car. It's always cool to see a less common car getting modified.

Sorry to hear about your part being missing, it's amazing they loose things this large. I hope they find them soon. Nice job the tail lights look good.

Car looks great! :thumbsup:

Hang in there, Whilst building your car and depending on others, you will learn to have patience.. weather you like it or not.. :hairpullout:
:popcorn2:

Wow, thats a real bummer. Either someone made a huge mistake, or was bold enough to steal a pallets worth of parts thinking no one would notice. We hope you can get it sorted with some kind of compensation at the very least.

rear control arms look great!

That's nuts about the pallet. Good luck getting that fiasco sorted out.:thumbsup:

well Al at control freak has started building it all over again .we both sent in claims so UPS its time to pay up hope to hear for UPS in a couple weeks and i'm not holding my breath either

got the pedal blasted and painted today they turned out great for what they looked like ..http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...ps4kgvddzm.jpg..http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...psrxn4fbha.jpg...even the bushing are in great shape ..http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...psemm4jadx.jpg

ready to install ...http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...psdabc2nla.jpg..http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...pszsfy2dpp.jpg..http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j7...psra1sv2au.jpg

I love different cars and you look like you have a cool one. I doubt you go to a car show and park next to a guy with the same model very often.

The pedals turned out really well, bet those were difficult to find. Judging by the before and after, you just made a diamond from coal. Nice save.

In one of your last images you have a tub of Lith-Ease grease in the background. I have the same tub and I think I bought it from Western Auto. I've never seen another one in someone's shop until now. Hahaha

I love this project! Nice to see something different. Thanks for posting!
Wes

when ya live in Kenosha if ya know the right guy ya can find just about whatever ya need thank God i know that guy we pulled them pedals from a 68 Rebel wagon V8 3 on the Tree ..ya about the that Grease Haha took it from my dad never gave it back lol who know where he got it from but we had a western auto in town

Great Job.........and we would expect nothing less !!!.............

thanks Kenny still waiting on the rims from US Mags this week is 15 weeks Al at control freak has put another front suspension back in the production run for me. he has heard nothing from UPS on when they are going to do about my missing freight I haven't heard nothing from them either we both filed all the paper work so now we wait. I picked up a flywheel for the 343 found a Bell housing that a T5 will work with so some things are moving along

Nice job on the rehab on the parts,they look great.

D&pnsw...............

Those are some sweet new shoes! When do you think you'll get them mounted up?

Beautiful wheels, but 19 weeks?

You must be a patient man.
