Re: Resurrecting the Rambler
Good one Mark!
Little does anybody know I've been playing keyboards and brass instruments for the better part of 50 years now, so 60's and 70's rock music is right up my alley.
Been a little slow going for the last couple of weeks, the shop I'm borrowing for this build is still pretty busy, everybody else's car is dying since it's 0 out right now, so I've been pushed clear down to the end bay where it's dark and cold and have no lift available. However, my desire to want to flog this Rambler this year is pushing me on. I keep trying to find little things to do.
Mocked up the shifter install today, had to saw the console into three pieces and trim the heck out of it on the insides around the hole, but it's going to graft back together. Figured out the original 4 speed hole in the floor is right where 2 of the new Kilduff automatic shifter's mount holes have to be, so I'm going to have to patch weld the hole in the floor shut before I can drill into anything for mounting. As usual, nothing comes easy.
But the look----oh man, it's everything I wanted!
