Good work and cool Marlin. While at the Rambler Ranch recently Terry had three (65, 66, 67). I had never seen one in person. Just awe struck. Congrats and thanks for sharing.

A fellow Marlin owner asked me if my passenger door had a string of numbers written on its inside, and it sure does. Then, he asked me if the numbers matched the end of my VIN. I checked, and yes again. Since he's seen this on other Marlins, he figured it was part of the assembly process in some way. Pretty cool to contribute to the compendium of 1967 Marlin carchaeology! The ID is upside down with the door installed.  Edited by 67 Marlin - Dec/30/2023 at 9:14pm |

Removed the chrome grill surrounds and welded in the mounting holes like what's been done on the body panels. Also repainted the grill and the radiator baffle plates.  Edited by 67 Marlin - Jul/31/2021 at 5:10pm |

Finally a new photo of the Marlin since the de-chroming and welding went down. I like the "tiger shark" look   Edited by 67 Marlin - Jul/31/2021 at 5:11pm |

Looking good. I just lost an Ebay auction for a '67 Marlin. It needed a total reso. Hopefully whoever bought it will restore it. Can't wait to see it painted up.

Finished the last of the planned de-chroming. No nasty surprises under the rocker panel covers. The covers were adopted by a fellow Forum member and will help another AMC to live on.  Edited by 67 Marlin - Jul/31/2021 at 5:21pm |

I love your car, Man. Awesome job so far, and the red paint will look great.
I see your car keeps company with fine friends. 57 Retrac and a Hawk aren't bad neighbors to have. |

When removing the rocker panel covers, I saw what I thought were bubble rusts on the lower quarter panel behind the wheel arch. What?! Found more on the other side. Great. Pressed on the biggest spot with my finger but there was no squishing rust sound. Stuck my head inside the trunk and the bubbles looked like dents from the inside. Cleaned off the primer with a scouring wheel and sure enough there are little dents poking out. One of the two previous owners must have put something in the trunk that shifted while cornering. I can deal with dents; it's better than dealing with rust!  Edited by 67 Marlin - Dec/30/2023 at 9:20pm |
