Great imagination! I think AMC might have missed out on this one. I could see my Dad driving one of these. He loved AMC's

Fantastic save, Paul. Allen, I could see ME driving this thing. I've got a real soft spot for anything AMC even though I'm a MOPAR fan. If AMC had managed to stay in business, I'd probably be a fan of theirs instead. Paul, if you ever decide to get rid of this thing, please keep me in mind. Not only do I really like the way you decided to save it, I really like the paint scheme. Very nice.  |

HAH! Yeah, if I ever get my butt in gear and start working in my man cave every day, I might be able to do that in 5 or so years.Things haven't been going so well on this first build. Not that I'm really complaining, but I'm having to find a lot of different ways to do things. I'm still trying to adjust to this stupid hand/arm with less than normal feeling and use. Things that used to take a few seconds are taking me long minutes. I'll get it all worked out. Just a matter of time. I did, for sure, figure out I'm going to have to start using my left hand to do things like pour small amounts of liquid and squeeze a tube of glue. It gets quite messy when that right hand suddenly jerks, or contracts.   |

No need to fret. Use Model Master's Glue, very small amount comes out just by gravity. I use pipettes for transferring paint.   I'm not trying to mess with you at all Steve. When I got back into the hobby about 4-5 years ago, I knew I had lost a lot of eyesight and precision hand skills, etc. so my first few builds were fairly simple, box stock and "follow the directions." As I continued to get more comfortable I branched out and experimented a little more all the time so now I'm fairly comfortable with trying to build whatever I want. I am no "master" by anyone's measure but I enjoy the hobby. So maybe start one step at a time and "build" upon a build. I just want to see you get the satisfaction of posting one up and saying "Yep, I built that!" |

And I apologize to you Paul; I have somehow highjacked your thread.  Back on point, I think your Ramblerino is just fabulous and I will definitely build one some day!!! |

I too apologize. I probably should not have wandered off on that tangent.
EDIT:
But my offer still stands. Should you ever decide you might want to sell this thing, just shoot me a PM or an email. I really like it.
