    The test shots were fine. This is a rare case where the tooling got damaged in production.  Replacement bodies were ordered, and we now have some in stock for those who got a damaged body.  Use the request a part link on the Round2 web site.

    I did yesterday and received a response today that they are on the case! But, it will be 4 to 6 weeks. 

    Here is a comparison to the 2005 issue of the kit.

    Looking for the stock wheels and tires from the AMT Pinto re-issues. Have tires and wheels from the Mustang II Hell Drivers edition, or is there something else you would like in trade? 

    Thanks!

  3. My Model Car Club just had a small kit auction due to a small donations of vintage build ups being donated to the club. Best way to disperse them is via auction and it benefits our treasury. 

    One of those kits was one that I have been after for quite some time. They are either really expensive or really bad. And that is the MPC Dick Jesse's Mr. Unswitchable GTO funny car. And yes, I know that it is nowhere near accurate to the read deal, but I am looking at this with eyes of a regular model builder. 

    I was surprised how not bad it is for being a brush job built up from back then. Glue is not too bad and it could be easily restored, but, the question now is, should I restore it or just leave it alone? 

    Leaning more towards preservation and display as is, but, I do have some decals just in case.
