AMC Rambler "Velvet"

Drivetrain:
Nothing yet, but I'm gonna put in a hot small block Chevy (sorry pops!) and a 5 speed manual. Got one for sale?
Chassis:
The front is a clip from an S10. The original plan was to use the entire S-10 frame, but the car was too nice to cut apart completely.

Wheels & Tires:
I can't decide if I'll use black steel wheels with WWW's or the Radir wheels shown in the pictures.
Body:

I haven't decided on the color yet, but I know it'll have a silver or white metal flake top. The only custom tricks will be the shaved door handles.

 


Interior:
I'm going to use all the stock seats including the stock front bench. Have you ever seen how a Rambler seat reclines to form a bed with the back seat?

Here's my 1961 Rambler American Wagon. I purchased this June of 2006. She's a total project, but dry as a bone! The name comes from the porno book I found inside called "Velvet's Vibrations". It was printed in 1971.
