Longshot 63 Rambler

[Bert]

I've shown this Rambler (Johan 1963 Rambler American) project a couple of times before here on the CC. I need an interior tub for this car. I've put it in the purple pond so many times and cut it up like Frankenstein's monster it is now mush. I know it's a long shot but I'm throwing it out there. Cash or trade! Dig around in the archives and junkyards and let me hear from you. ;D

Do you happen to have a pic of it before it was turned to mush?

[Bert]

Hey Charlie! Sorry, I do not. It has alignment tabs on the right and left side about midway, near the the top of the tub. The front and rear seat are molded in to the tub. It has Seperate seatbelts that glue to the seat bottom. The plastic is light tan in color. The only other seperate pieces are the dash and steering wheel/column. Although I have not checked, it maybe the same as the Studebaker convertible from the same time period. The kits are similar. It's just like the white one form this ebay listing:

I checked my tubs here, nothing I have looks like it would work for you.

The Stude would be different, but you may be able to make it work. Those Ramblers got repopped a few years back with Loony Tunes graphics on them, you may be able to find one of those kits cheap .

I thought that to Don, but in the pics I've seen of the Looney Tunes kit there doesn't appear to be an interior tub. It looks like they made a top in the up position, blacked out the windows, and omitted the tub. Thanks for the info. ;D

This just isn't a part you see every day. I figured it would be a dead end when I posted. You can't catch a fish if you don't put a hook in the water. ;D
