monkbonk Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 I got this kit car today: Guess what it is!? They are pretty hard to come by and still on the verge of being somewhat worthless money-wise. 1 Quote Link to comment
Lonestar Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Yer a glutton for punishment eh? XD I kid kid, I can't think of the name off the top 9th my head but I do know that kit. Good luck customers your going to need it fixing this one up. Quote Link to comment
monkbonk Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 The good thing is I don't have to do a lot of rust repair. I need to find the glass first and foremost. I have one side glass and one driver's door piece that I can use as templates. I need an AMC Marlin for the windshield and rear window. Quote Link to comment

q-tip Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 AMC marlin for the front and rear glass eh, good luck finding one if those Quote Link to comment
monkbonk Posted March 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 I hope I can find them. It's going to be hard. I think the AMC Rambler had the same windshield also. I'll have to recheck that as it's only select body styles of that model. This is all I got with it: The windshield in it is cracked. The transmission has a new nosecone. Sitting it in, I can safely say that kit cars are a bad idea. I have very little leg and head room and feel like I'm going to die even when the thing is sitting still. http://s797.photobucket.com/user/MILTD41/library/AMANTE%20GT Amante GT with fender flares: http://images.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/633591.jpg http://www.ditzj.de/fora/buzzy/retroclassic2014/D90_46963.jpg Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 That thing is hideous. Kill it with toothpaste. Quote Link to comment
monkbonk Posted March 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 It definitely needs some help. The corvair powered one above had some little tweaks to it - corvette taillight panel and a continued nose piece. Quote Link to comment
