Two other kits I'd like to see from the "lame performance era." The '79 Chrysler Córdoba with the 300 package. And her sister the Dodge Magmun. No one ever tooled either as a kit that I know of. So I'm not holding my breather for seeing either one of them.

I agree 100% Harry.

I'm curious about the Suburban. I just hope it can be built factory "stock." It's a shame it will not be a '67 - '72 three-door Suburban. Those are my favorites. But, I love Chevy Suburbans, and any Suburban is welcome in my collection.

I'm sorry. But I think that is ugly.

It looks pretty good from looking at the instructions. I'm looking forward to this one.

I just got my Mod Squad kit tonight. Sorry to say, the tires in kit are plain. No tampo lettering or stripes. I'm a little disappointed with this one. Being molded in black plastic and plain tires. It can be built "stock." Other than the Pontiac engine and interior. Those parts I don't mind. In general, other than the black plastic and plain tires, the kit looks pretty good overall.

What do you use as a chassis with above kits?

Call me sick. But, I kind of like the looks of the thing. Strange and unique. A different take on the Batmobile.

As noted before, a beautiful Merc. Had to take another look. And again, I whis Revell/Mongram see fit to reissue the kit. I think it was only offer the one time in about 1976 or '77.

One of my "holy grail" kits. I would if Revell still has the dies for it? For some reason I kind doubt it. It was not a big seller when it first came out. Very cool find! I'm jealous. ?

If it looks anything like the first picture, good. If the Everest or something like that, let the name rest in peace. As far as Rangers go, I've always disliked them. But, I respect them. Working at the auto parts store you see more them come in, held together by bailing wire and crewing gum. They maybe slow, uncomfort, ugly little turds. And I will not drive our Ranger parts delivering truck unless I absolutely have to. I take one of the two Nissans first. And I'm not a far Nissan either. But, those little Rangers do keep on going. And that says a lot.

Long list. What movie are you looking forward to seeing?

Great explanation of how things like eBay works, and why many of us use it. And I do think there are a lot Grampa Simsons out there. Complaining becomes hobby and love to them.

Talking about "lame cars," another one I'd like to see Round 2 bring back is MPC's ('76 or '77) Mustang II Cobra II. I know the car was considered heresy by true Cobra fans. But, I've always thought it was cool from the very first time I saw it.

No but the Miss Budweiser boat was brought up here. And a picture with the boat and an old AMT Allison engine beside it. I think that makes it fair game.

By the way. How did you get the Coronado? Every website I've check out this weekend says it's not available yet. Including the Round 2 own Auto World site.

Oh! And how can I forget being a big Buick guy? I really want to see the '59 Buick brought back.

Your right. No matter what the model companies put out people will complain. This or that detail isn't right. It's doesn't have enough chassis detail. It's too expensive. It's not made here. It will never get kids into the hobby. I can keep on going. In price I consider with inflation and the extra stuff they're giving me to be pretty fair. I like the old kits for nostalgic reasons. I'm glad they keep bringing back old kits that I couldn't afford as a kid, but can now. And I love the new kits. If the kit looks close enough that the adverage person won't notice the mistakes unless they're point out, I'm pretty happy. To the others I don't know what really is out their as far as old tooling goes. There maybe nothing we haven't seen already. The dies maybe gone. But, I can dream. And I can ask. Maybe the die is there, and AMT or some other company will bring it back. I have seen kits that I was told we would never see again, because of this or that happened die. Rommel's Rod comes to mind. Maybe they made a new tool for that one? Who really cares? It's back. They've restored another old favorite of mine. Monogram's/Daniel's Street Fighter '60 Chevy panel. I'm sure there were people who told me I would never see that come back in it's original form. Who would have thought that Round 2 would retool new/old parts for the '28 Mod Rod Model A roadster? I never thought I'd see such nerdy cars as AMT's Pacer station wagon (in a stock version no less) or MPC's '80 Volare. I was told there is not enough people out there who'd be interested in buy those. Guess what? They're back! All those Negative Nellys were wrong! And I'm glad. The Craftsman Kits I'd really like to see come back are the following: '57 Thunderbird '59 Ford Fairlane 500 hardtop '59 Edsel hardtop. Any '59 Mercury. Hardtop or convertible '59 Lincoln '60 Chevy station wagon '63 Falcon convertible '63 Comet, again convertible or hardtop. I don't care which. '64 Corvair and the '66 Skylark. Again, I don't really care if it's not realistic to look for these kits to come back or not. I'm hoping all of you naysayers are wrong. You have been in the past. If you look for the negative, your likely to find it. I look for positive, and generally find. I think I stay with my positive way of thinking. I've been a lot happier since I started living that way.

I didn't ask about engines in the Colonado. I asked about the engine in Miss Budweiser.

Can can you show us more of the engine on Miss Budweiser. Is it an Allison? And if so, how does it compare AMT's Allison?

Even if it's been done. Go for it. Another set of eyes. Another opinion on any kit is always a good thing.

Hey! That's pretty good. ?

I was going to ask, if it's a real '32 or a model you're looking for? If it's model, like Mike says, about the only game in town is AMT's. You also did not say what body type your looking for. AMT over the years has offered the '32 as a 5-window coupe, a roadster, a 2-door Victoria, and a 4-door phaeton. Mike stated they are not very realistic. I disagree with him on that. They look pretty good built. Are they as accurate as they could be? For the times they were tooled up, the coupe and roadster in the very early 60's, and the Vicky and phaeton in the mid-to-late 60's, I think they pretty darn good. AMT was reissued these kits many times over the years. So none of them should be too hard to find, or too expensive.

Thanks for reminding me. I just went over to eBay to order one. Payed $11.99 with shipping.

Are any of the above even legal to drive on public roads?
