They have been reissuing it fairly frequently since 1964 or so. One will find you.
Yeah maybe US MAIL one next, if the mold doesn't disintegrate

I don't build the style of models that most of Ed's parts are for, but I have his AMT '53 Ford pickup interior "enhancement" parts and they are amazing! I wish I had a few extra hands so I could give him more than two thumbs up!
And now I just noticed that I said pretty much the same thing last October, LOL. It still holds true!
I'd like to get one of those too, but I'd have to find the rest of the kit first haha

I just received an order from him and parts look great, fast shipping and great guy. He's having a hard time getting resin right now but he does have some items in stock. I'd love to see him pull through so we can see what else he offers

If you get to Spokane, WA there is B&B Hobbies on Fracis Ave. Been in business since early 60's. Wide selection of kits and stuff.

This is the kind of place I'm looking for! Kinda far off but its on the wish list now

I hope this is allowed, but any good model shops in Portland or Seattle or in between? Thanks

On my list I have plan to make conversions to more commercial style fronts for GMC and Chevy. I personally need 1980 GMC Vandura with round headlights for example. If you want anything in particular, shoot me an email and I will add it to my list. Once I fully retire (less than 2 years) I will be pounding out new stuff a with lot more frequency.
Those would need a new dash and doghouse too but I'm excited to see what you come up with

I do ship to Hawaii...it says "My USA flat rate shipping is $17 with tracking up to a max weight of 0.19 kg (including Hawaii)."
Whoops, sorry about that. I got too excited and I'm always used to having hawaii excluded. Will definitely order sometime, hope you come out with more van stuff, chevy van update parts maybe?

NICE! This is exactly what I wanted to do too. Someone has to make these decals on their own

I agree, but these are 70 and 71. Oh well.
Yeah why doesn't anybody make these kits? Or add them as customizing parts to stock kits?

Could be. But, I would think it would've been called that instead of a customizing kit. I just hope it isn't some George Barris abomination. I'm hoping you're right!
It wouldve been cool, but highly unlikely, to be a Rapid Transit type custom

Does anyone make different grilles for the AMT chevy van? Would be nice to see more parts made for these, also is anyone making a uhaul body?

I was wondering the same thing. Never understood why they removed the ribs (which were accurate) to recreate the original issue (which weren't). I hope someday the original A-Team van can come back, I really liked that version of the van.
BTW, is your van going to be an ice cream truck? I'd like to see more of that one. Are you doing a WIP thread?
Its similar to an ice cream truck, in hawaii they're called manapua vans and they sell noodles, Asian snacks and candy. I patterned mine after the amt drag van kit

I was wondering, are the prices of the A Team van crazy because the tooling was irreparably backdated when the Dirty Donny version came out? I built this van from the recent rescue van and you can see the roof rib marks from the A team van ( I reused the roof skin to make the tall top)

I already have a pinto kit set aside to build this one....
This photo always tempts me into putting the mpc 1980 wagon front end on the amt 77

Anyone got ahold of him lately?
-
I built one long ago when it first came out. I got it together so I guess it was alright haha..

Hmm - 2nd look the "red kit" tires are the same. I'm thinking of these below, from Snake45's build, which may not be from the kit:
This almost looks like the rolling stock from the monogram 70 chevelle

Would be nice if Revell were to update their 1991-1994 B-body to a true 9C1 & 9C3 of 1993-1994 / 1995-1996 vintage.
I'll take a case of wagons too

Neat!
My Next door neighbor has a 1/1 Impala for sale right now. Quite the impressive car.
Prices on clean examples have been skyrocketing lately
-
I was curious if the mold is forever modified into the impala or could the old caprice kit ever come back?

Glad to see the lightbars finally coming out and I can see a few ideas for the Escalade.
Adding a roof to the back, I'd like to see someone convert one into a TRUE Escalade ESV.
Might have to be me.
Oh and so no one cries, here is the consumer warning that should be on the Corvette box!
THE 62 CORVETTE IS ORIGINALLY FROM 1962 AND DOES NOT HAVE FULLY DETAILED WIPER MOTOR OR TURN SIGNALS!
I just wish they'd fix the headlights on the 62 corvette
