Re: My cage: six six rambler
Love Ramblers! I'm working on restoring a 1965 Ambassador 2 door. I think when I'm done with it I'm going to pick up an American to tinker with.

Re: My cage: six six rambler
Thanks guys. Love any old bastard or underloved car. Ramblers, Nash's, Studebakers. Anything odd or ugly. It's funny the comments I get on the laced top. People either love it or hate it. One guy was looking it over while we were talking. He came to the top and commented "Hmm, well that's unfortunate". C'est la vie I suppose. I'll get around to posting the mini. It's turned cold here and that means I can't drag my ass off the couch. ;D

Re: My cage: six six rambler
Yeah, people always ask if it's a Chevy II. I guess I can see that, I guess.
Well, the sun has finally came out here, and I'm emerging from a prolonged alcohol induced coma, crawling off the couch to get some work done. Snapped some pics of the mini today and thought I'd throw them up. It's a (ahem, cough, cough) 1966 Mini Cooper with a 997cc engine. I have a 1275cc dual carb motor for it, but god only knows when I get around to dropping it in. When I get tired of dumping oil in the 997, I suppose.

If it don't hit the ton, well it aint no fun!
Love the Rambler. Had a '68 440 American back in the '90s an I couldn't stop anywhere without someone sharing a Rambler story. my wife loves the Mini and if I can get her off the Trans Am kick she's on, I might do up a Mini. After the bikes are done of course!
