Resurrecting the Rambler

[Pinballer]

That is one flyin' Pacer Jim!

If my T car can run a 14.29 by the end of this year, I'll be ecstatic.

Not really much to report from here as far as the build, most of April and early May are super busy for me. Spent the last three weekends doing pinball work everywhere, and running back and forth to Pennsylvania to a major pinball event. Today, I finally got to spend some time with the car. Couldn't get real deep into anything, the car is on the trailer and too much still going on today catching up on things, but in between people coming by and picking up their games I hauled back from out east, I was able to attach the newly purchased left fender flare and a front spoiler that I finally unearthed from a real good AMC guy out in Colorado. These pieces are like hen's teeth, there just aren't any out there (they only made about 2900 of these AMX cars and that was 37 years ago), and if you do find some flares and spoilers that might be available, you expect them to be roughed up to some extent and you have to fix them and make them work. The blending in the flare edges where they mate together into the spoiler comes later when the weather gets a little hotter, I can't fiberglass this stuff when it's 55 degrees out.
Couple of pictures after I resize them...

Hide the box in the wheel flare. Don't tell anybody I told you that.

Too late Ed, the box is in a different location.

Here's the pics I promised, and I forgot about the striping effort on the left side. I'm painting them all on instead of ordering the immensely overpriced decal kit. Save money where you can you know...
