This is a 1963 AMC Rambler 660 build. Bagged and channeled so it lays pinchweld. has FBSS, 1/2" lines and valves at 150psi, drivetrain is stock

When i first got it, engine was locked up

pulled the head, couldnt get the engine undone. so just said forget it to find another and continued to carve up the body to get it ready to be channeled and bagged

This basically shows that I have to raise the engine and trans up 2" so they dont hit the ground. This allows the car to lay all the way down

Removing the carpet and starting to cut out the inside to allow for the powertrain to be raised up

This car is unibody but still has frame rail like structures. Because I had to cut off these "frame rails" from under the car, i installed 2x3 1/4" steel to reinforce what I was cutting away. Def overkill

removing the rear springs, getting the floor ready to be cut up

installing a cross member C channel to make up for the cross member tunnel I cut away to allow the trains and torque tube to come up into the car

getting an idea of how low the rear can go

pulling the engine

Here's a shot of the rear cut up to allow the torque tube and track bars to come up into the car when it lays out

making a new crossmember/engine mount. This allows the engine to sit on 2" tall stilts. to raise the whole powertrain up

patching back in the metal for the channel

more metal patching

parts

using a pizzabox mock bag to get the fitment ready for the bags

making bag brackets

first time on the ground

first time outside

making a bracket for the engine driven air compressor

making a bracket for the alt, as this car orginally came with a generator

Building the exhaust. It goes from the driverside, around the front, then down the passenger. When you're this low it's hard to find a way out

stole the master cylinder off my old ford ranger 🙂

modifying the seat to make way for the channel

Time for switches and wires

painted the wheels. First time around I went with red steelies cause I'm poor

Building a surfboard to be mounted to the back

carving it and installing a decal

test fitting

staining and building a brackety

getting it pinstriped

door panels

making a funny sign for it. Shout out to everyone who knows where this comes from

Sleepy eye headlights and other small mods

dragging frame

Arduino remote air ride system so you can hit the switches remoteley

Getting some new wheels. have to run wheel spacers to get them to fit

night shots

If you ever come to Virginia for any car shows let me know I’d love to do some photos for you at some of the events and outside of then

[fierce ice]

Dude you gotta let me learn from you. What an incredible talent you have I aspire to be able to do this one day

[cunning jetty]

[azure cradle]

I'll hit you up. We've went to the Time-n-Money show in Winchester and Attitude Check in Woodford before.

[azure cradle]

Yea man of course and thank you! I've got a few tricks on how to get what you want without spending a ton of money 🙂

[azure cradle]

Thank you!

Hey, I'm looking at a '63 Rambler Classic 770, and I was wondering if you know enough to be able to tell if this would be a good car or not.

$6,500

[azure cradle]

it's hard to say from only 2 pictures but from those two pictures it looks promising. Very clean and looks well kepy. but the discoloring on the carpet makes me think the cowls been leaking

[near flame]

How hard would that be to fix?

[azure cradle]

Not hard

[honest swallow]

This is a dope ass build. Keep it going. Love me some slammed cars

[abstract rune]

cool Classic, always love seeing modified AMC's

[wooden mortar]

yo

[azure cradle]

I let my nieces boyfriend take my rambler to a trunk or treat and he wrecked it 🤦

Was able to bend the grill and hood back. But not sure on what were gonna do with the bumper yet

[tropic magnet]

This fucking this is badass!
