I think I've done well on this deal but I must find another engine🤔. Thanks for the history details,Tom 👍😎

Pete , I have a story for you. I went to a model show many years ago. There was a man there selling new Jo-Han models without the box. I bought the AMC Rambler kit. I asked him about it. He says he used to work at the Jo-Han factory. The boxes were destroyed in a fire. Just before the placed closed. He said they were having a hard time getting paid. Because the company was running out of money. Some people even took tooling to a scrap yard to get money. From one factory Rat to another 🏭🐁

[@petesmodelcarcustoms584]

Great story Craig 👍. It's a shame the company ended in such distress 😟

[@greybeardmodels]

Looks a nice kit, and an interesting build. Happy modelling 👍

[@petesmodelcarcustoms584]

Cheers bob😃🍻

[@ModelCarMinion]

Nice find, Johan kits are rare and expensive here as well. Enjoy the build.

[@petesmodelcarcustoms584]

I think I've got a good deal and these kits extras are not in the actual Johan releases. 😃 The A pillars are only slightly damaged👍😉

[@thescalemodelcarguychannel8681]

Pete awesome kit brother and I can't wait to see you build it ❤😊

[@petesmodelcarcustoms584]

Cheers Shawn. 👍🍻😃I think I got a good deal,even with the damage. The wheels are worth what I paid for it😂😂. I might look for some proper decals for it and,I think,another engine🤔.Thanks for watching and best wishes from jolly old England👍😎 Pete 🤓

[@hortonshotrodshop2003]

Very cool kit nice find

[@petesmodelcarcustoms584]

Cheers Phil 👍🍻I'm really happy even with the A pillar damage it was a bargain😃. Thanks for watching and best wishes from jolly old England 👍😎Pete 🤓

[@stig800]

Really nice kit 👍

[@petesmodelcarcustoms584]

Cheers Stig👍🍻😎. It seems a very popular kit but bloody expensive and I think the engine details are a bit soft. It'll be an easy repair though🤞

[@modelcarmadness5119]

I always liked that Rambler kit, I'm sure you can fix the windshield posts without too much trouble

[@petesmodelcarcustoms584]

Cheers ,Ted. The damage looks minimal really

[@dvdw_graphics_crafts]

Nice review! Seeing the instruction reminds me some Revell and AMT ERTL kits do have lots of readings on the instruction XD

[@petesmodelcarcustoms584]

I seem to have got a bargain with this kit although its damaged.🤔😃. The original Johan kit doesn't have the cast aluminium wheels😁. Thanks for watching and best wishes from jolly old England ,👍😎Pete 🤓

[@moparnut6286]

Love it Peter... Man I should have bought more hobby shop only testors in the 90s I did get some resin versions like the tri clops custom... And a 32 ford..they were not cheap back then $40+ usd.

[@petesmodelcarcustoms584]

Cheers John 👍🍻. I think I got a real good deal on this kit even with the pillar damage😁😃👍😎

[@theoknowscars5418]

good kit pete lovely find that is a good amc rambler and it has a damage roof that what the box said but keep it up hope it goes well on the next video

[@petesmodelcarcustoms584]

Thanks a lot Theo 👍😃

[@bkmodelcars]

That's a cool kit I did a barn find Gasser All weathered up you probably saw the video Lookin forward to your build

[@petesmodelcarcustoms584]

I'll check your vids and watch it again,Butch, even if I have seen it before👍🤔😃

[@bkmodelcars]

@petesmodelcarcustoms584 Well thank you sir 3 years ago Titled rambler 69 sc

[@MonsterHobbiesModelCarGarage]

It has the 1966 Rambler tail lights on it. I have two of the Jo-Han kits, but I haven't seen the Testor's version of it. (I know it's the same kit, but it didn't have the metal extras.). It does build up nicely, but you will need a little Evergreen styrene along one side of the trunk opening to close the gap...unless I am thinking of the AMT 1969 Corvair kit. If so, kindly ignore that last comment! LOL! Big and little tires? That's odd. Usually, they came in the pro-street kits like the 'Cuda. The SC/Rambler should come with a set of the "Other" Jo-Han tires, the unlettered red lines. I should see if I have some somewhere. What's with you and window pillars? :D - You're running a bad streak with those recently. On the stock AMC SC/Rambler had red, white and blue striped head rests.

[@petesmodelcarcustoms584]

If A pillar damage more than halves the value of the kit ,I'm happy to try and fix them. Like I said in the vid,if it wasn't for the damage this kit would have been £100. Thanks for the info on it,head rests sound cool👍😎

[@MonsterHobbiesModelCarGarage]

@@petesmodelcarcustoms584 I was just joking on the pillars. I know you can fix them well!

[@DB.scale.models]

Well, I have no comment on the kit. because I new to car model looks ok to me But you will do it justice. 😊 Al u minium? What's that? oh 😮 Alum in um Aka Aluminum 😊😅😂. Lol

[@petesmodelcarcustoms584]

All👍🤣🤣👍

[@DB.scale.models]

​@petesmodelcarcustoms584 The funny thing is both England and the USA are correct in the how we say it 😅 true fact. It has to do with it family of metal it belongs to . England is more right about (I feel) how they say it, but our flows off the tongue better 😅.but what about your Zed thing? I don't under stand that at all 😅😂. I like zee , Zed sound like my old uncle Zed.😊 Just having fun Pete call it a bonnet that's what you call it, do you know how hard it is for me not the call a hood a cowling? to much aircraft .😮😊

[@petesmodelcarcustoms584]

Polished aluminium engine cowling under the bonnet of my 57 Chevy 😂😂😂

[@DB.scale.models]
