I do not have 30 posts yet so I cannot display pictures, but soon I will be able to!  I am looking for parts to assist me in getting my Rebel back on the road and looking GOOD!  I'll follow up on all leads I get.

About all I have to share is a youtube of the first official start up, it was a pretty exciting day!

edited 4/9/2016 - This sorta deserves a little more explanation/description for those new viewers of this project.  This is not your average Rebel, it was explained to me that this car was a "mistake".  Thus only 144 X-code (390 engine) 1970 Rebels were produced, ...none were suppose to be produced, ...story goes that if you wanted a 1970 Rebel with a 390 you had to buy the Machine, after-all, it does make sense, The Machine was a "stand alone" Rebel, there were things that separated it from the rest of the Rebel heard besides cosmetics, ...it had to perform like no other Rebel as well as visually stand apart from the rest of the Rebels.  The ambassador and the Rebel pretty much shared the same option list/order form, ...and the 390 was an option for the Ambassador thus showed up as a option for the Rebels as well, when it was discovered some Rebels were sneaking out with a 390, they quickly put a stop to it, ...the story makes sense, this certainly is true for the 4-speed, only the Machine was optioned with it, not "ordinary" Rebels.  So this car is a 1 of 144 production vehicle, kinda neat!  ...and you thought the Machines were a rare beast!  This will be restored to as it originally was, though I do have the stuff needed to make it a Machine Clone if I cannot resist the temptation a little bit later down the road!
