Re: [AMC-list] 68 Rebel hood

I tried to clip the piece I am referring to but the blackberry won't comply. 
    Andrew, why are you asking about explaining how you could run ambo pieces on your 67 Marlin?  Pretty visible they have the same basic front. I did not see anyone say you could not use 68 Ambo pieces on a 67 marlin. 
    IMHO the 67 marlin was the winner in the overall run of Marlins.   Even though I prefer horizontal hlamps over stacked. Shame they made so few!

explain how i ran a '68 ambo sst grill and lights on my '67 marlin for
a while?

i've looked at these cars closely.  afaict on the front only the
grille and headlight doors are different; bumper, fenders, and hood
are the same.

" 66 Rebel hood is the same as a 1966 Classic. Will *NOT* fit 67-up Rebels.

makes sense; '67 was the year of the big change to 4-link open drive
rear.  they also restyled the cars to more of a 'coke bottle'
curviness.
