    I think this was my favorite of the entire series of AMT Modified Stocker kits. The box artwork on this one in particular is outstanding, (even tho the artwork depicts the actual car and model at about 2/3's of its actual wheelbase and overall body-length... its an awful-stubby Impala)!

    Really nice build! Great paintwork and color choices! I believe this is the 1st one of these kits that I have ever seen built-up... makes me wonder how well this kit sold for Revell.

    David, If you're looking to upgrade the look of your 1/24 Monogram Mongoose and Snake Funny Cars, and you think part of those upgrades would be replacing those kit's front wheels and tires with more accurate, skinnier drag racing front wheels and tires, I would like to know if you'd be interested in trading-for or possibly selling the (4) chrome, front mag wheels from those 2 kits to me. A few days ago I sent you a PM regarding this; just let me know.

    Agreed! Very nicely done! Paint and decal work is exceptional!

    The 1/25 MPC 1970/71 Mercury Cyclone Spoiler kit is on the top of my Holy-Grail kits list... that'd be a good one!

    If you do get one of these kits, Randy, send the lovely figure to me and I'll finish it up!

    That paint-color is outstanding! This looks like a first-class build all the way! Do you have any engine compartment pics; sure would like to see more!

    Stunning build of a classic! Your paintwork and color choices are outstanding! It's a shame more of these classic cars don't get built in model-form... they are such beautiful cars!

    I've been considering picking up the latest reissue of this kit, but the one-piece chassis holds me back. I might have a more-detailed parts box chassis swap, and was wondering if you might provide me with two measurements from that one-piece chassis. What is the one-piece chassis' wheelbase in inches and also its width in inches, (as measured thru the middle between the doors)? Thanks!

    I've seen alot of builds of this particular kit over the years, and this one is probably my all-time favorite... simply stunning!

    Remember... remember... remember... gotta send my "Holy Grail" kit list to Snake so he can buy them all up and then get that reissue-fountain to start pouring out those holy-grail kits that I long to buy!!!!

    Excellent looking build! Looks really good in that smooth Bright Red paint. Your detail-work and decal application looks outstanding! What did you do to achieve the look on those kit wheels?

    Stunning builds! I've watched the progress on that 30 Series Apache and to now see it teamed-up with the race car and trailer completes the deal; all incredible replicas!

    A beautiful build of a beautiful race car. Your paint and decal work are exceptional! I'm curious regarding what appears to be Chrysler pentastars on the rear wing; did Chrysler have a racing connection to Matra/Simca?

    My second 1:1 was a baseline '70 Camaro that was nearly as bare-bones as a consumer could get. A 250ci straight-6, (which weighed more than the small-block V8 and not much less than the big-blocks), no power steering or brakes but it did have a heater and an AM-radio! If unchanged in this reissue, the seat & interior door patterns found in this kit will not be correct for a baseline Camaro, and my 1:1 had extremely-baseline hubcaps that I've never seen issued in a kit before.

    Seems to me like you just answered the question that started this post in the first place! Dollars invested vs. potential dollars profited are the basis for every business decision made... I don't think the future reissue of this '71 Roadrunner kit is based on "someone at Round2 not liking '71/72 Roadrunners"; its based on projected dollars and cents profited... its that simple.

    Beautiful build(s)! It's interesting to compare the '55 and '56 side-by-side. IMO; although the '55's design was way-ahead of the mid-1950's products coming out of Chevrolet or Ford, the designers at Chrysler really moved the looks of the '56 even farther ahead with the design refinements they brought to the '56... 1st-class design all the way!

    I wonder if the front and rear bumpers from this Modified Stocker Chevelle would also be a clean replacement for the Revell's Z-16 bumpers with the ugly bumper guards mounted to them?

    Thanks for making this reissue happen Snake45! I'm seriously thinking about giving you my Holy Grail list and seeing if I can get you to buy 'em all so I can look forward to them being reissued!?

    Thanks for making this reissue happen Snake45!

    Looks just like I remember the 1:1's! Great paintwork and detailing on that interior! Put a license plate on it and we should take her out for a spin!

    Like this one alot; looking forward to seeing it all finished up! Your paintwork really plays-off the car's name well.
