REBEL MACHINE AND AMC RESOURCE CENTRE We are expanding our range of parts and accessories. Why should these old cars which were decades ahead of their time in 1970 be consigned to the past? Let's keep our Rebel Machines relevant and happening! | ||||||
Paint Scheme FormatsThe most common questions I receive about Rebel Machines has to do with the 25 a paint scheme. There really isn't any documentation that really explains in detail what a painter needs to know before starting to paint a Machine whether it's a 25A car or a solid colour car. Anticipating that years ago I used my #3 Machine as a template. Hope this helps. | ||||||
25A and Solid Colour Machines
The idea of the seal is to have a way of identifying which cars have my stripes on them because some people have been claiming their cars have my stripes on then when they haven't. The seal with the VIN hand written on it by me and complete with my signature still seems like a good idea. The problem though is that during the move and part way through shipping the last run, the seals disappeared. So in the 2017 run, if it goes this year I'll make up a new batch of seals and send them out to every verified owner/car I can locate right back to the beginning. | ||||||
The Electric Blue Lower Body BandUse the Following Images and Dimensions to Paint Your Machine ProperlyThe Red, White and Blue Paint Scheme is identified on the metal tag riveted to the bottom door surface as 25A. This number does not appear in any AMC documentation. They must have forgotten to put it in. Likewise there are no painting instructions to help anyone repaint an entire car. In those days it was unthinkable that a hobbyist would attempt to paint a car like this in their garage. The entire body of the car is painted Frost White first. the blue band and the trunk lid are painted over top of the white. Solid colour cars are painted that colour all over except for the flat black portion of the hood and cowl grille between the creases. There the hood is painted P8 or flat black without any colour behind it.
