Reminds me of my friend's Rambler gasser! He's got an aluminum Olds V8 in his.

 

Love the look!!!

 

cool looks great....

 

Looks like you cut the front frame out of it. Got any pictures of what you did with the frame. I been gathering ideas for the one I have. I am planning to built into a straight axle car.

As for a 300 L6 ford you will have to cut the fire wall. There about 31 -32 inches between the fire wall and radiator. right now that the root I'm looking to go.

 

i put a full frame with a pinto frontend in it and a sbc about 15 years ago
this is howw it looks under the hood right now
im going to set the motor back further and a new fire wall

 

I took a pic of this one at Jalopyrama in Annapolis, MD this past year.

 

Aarrgghhh! I always have trouble posting pics on this site. I sure wish I could just cut and paste.

 

cant make the link work

 

Looks awesome! I'm looking forward to seeing it driving around town.

 

I'm tryin'. Stand by.

Here are thumbnails so you can enlarge.

 

Well, I thought you could. Still learning here.

 

I dont care what they say about you Dude your allright in my book

 

I was there in the fifties.
I remember the kind of person who would buy a rambler and I remember what traditional hotrodders thought about those cars and their owners back then

 

^^ hahahahahaha

 

That's what makes them neat. Hot rodders were able to see through the nerdy aspect and take advantage of a small light body.

I had a Rambler wagon that I was going to build, but some kids tried to steal it. I had left the keys in it because I knew it was almost out of gas. They didn't get out of the driveway before it quit. They got pissed and lit it on fire.

 

I couldn't see anything neat about Ramblers in the 50's when I was a kid, but I sure can see it now!
