Thanks for finding & sharing this Jessie! It looks like a sure fire Winner, from here.

Well, I finally got my hands on this kit. Some Great parts in the box. The '63-'67 Style arched "optional Rallye Gauge Package" parts is indeed there. Mine had much heavier and stronger plastic bags holding the parts. Strangely, while you get Drag Slicks, and a Drag Version on the instructions, the Drag Chute, Blower Manifold and Blower Belt did not make it into the kit. Those parts must have gotten moved to other parts trees that did not make it into the kit. The "Greenwood" 3 piece Headers, and Exhaust Pipes did make it into the box, but not on to the instruction sheet, as Chris noted in his review. There are 3 Spinoff Wheel hubs on the kit Chrome tree. They are cool. I just wish the 4th one had not been displaced. All in All, a neat collection of parts, that will assemble into a great Custom Vette. I have to really applaud Round2 for showing the Decal locations on the last page of the instructions. It really helps! Chris did an Outstanding Job on building his.

You nailed the look! I've seen many old racers that look like this car.

Looks Good so far. Atlantis has these decals that you might like. https://atlantis-models.com/decal-store/

I bought a CJ-5 Jeep in 1983, because of his songs. I still wish I had never sold it!

Just dropping this here to keep this thread complete. Notice that we will definitely be getting a 392 Early Hemi of some kind in the kit! This will be great, as about 60% of the Photos I have seen of the Real Thing are Hemi Powered. (the rest are 427/454 Big Blocks)

Thanks for helping to get this fixed, Steve!

I wish those images were just a bit larger. I cannot read them. But, It reminds me of that other 'spoof' kit from the Used Cars Movie.

Not Bad looking at all. What Era are these good for?

I am happy about the Merc! It is truly a great kit. It was a Pikes Peak Winner for Al Unser, I believe.

I agree Patrick, But a new release of the same kit might do well.

A Hemi! Alright!

Meh.....

I was promised mine by Feb 31st. The Girl on the phone who took my Credit Card info guaranteed it!

Wow, What a Neat 6 Wheeler. Makes me Think of the Banana Buggies from the Banana Splits TV Show. Throw in some Rifles, Camping gear and a Trailer (from the Fireball 500), add to the GMC Deserter Pickup and you'd have a whole Diorama in a Box!

About the Vacation / Job issue. I'll be checking the Handbook tonite, (my first night back). Other than the Vacation Issue, I have no real complaints, and the Oddball Schedule actually works for now, since I am dependent on others to drive me to work. They are a small family based company with all the Plusses and Minuses that come with that situation. I am treated well and paid adequately so I have no reason to bark, too much. That said, the whole 2 day thing left both angry and puzzled. I don't NEED vacation, other than my son's Wedding in October, so I'll probably just ride this out. But, it was indeed a major Irk, and I will be following up on it. Thanks for the support. Still hard to believe ANY company in the 3rd decade of the 21st Century does this.

Sure is a terrific build, R.J. I like the Old NASCAR Racers.

Thank You.

Here is a very old build review of this kit. https://modelingmadness.com/review/cars/caita.htm Note: He explains how he put working lights on his build.

Dang! That is One Awesome 4x4! Wish Round2 could Give us something like this. To Scratch Build, I guess you'd have to combine the Deserter Chassis and the Long Gone GMC Pickup kits.

I'd start out with the 4 Door Plymouth Police Car. Given the love for Police Cars in General and that kit in particular, I can see it being viable. The Hangup is, of course, Stellantis and permission thereof. That and the Superbird would be a good start IMHO, and would simplify permissions. Never gonna happen, but nice to dream.

I have a big Irk, and a question. I'll have my One-year anniversary with my new employer soon. I enquired about vacation, as I will have accrued some Vacation Time on that date. I was told that at one year, I get 2 (two) days of vacation time!!!! Two, Whole Days!, and they were proud of it! They also told me that you need to work there 10 (Ten) years to accrue 2 Weeks....... Has anybody run into this before? I am in California. Is this a Labour Board Issue, or am I way off base? I've been working full time since 1981 and have never seen less than 5 days after one year. I am just flabbergasted.

Riley, it is very true! My Son is now 26. His wedding in in October! But, I am so deeply proud of the Man he has grown into. WE do not always agree on everything, but he is a thoughtful, hardworking Man. I am glad to have raised him. Mu own Father is 85 an has advancing Alzheimer's. It is so odd to be in the middle of both ends of life.

I have yet to see it go down in California. However, the price increases are now a few pennies at a time rather than 15-20 cents per jump. So, there is that, at least. The rate of increase has slowed...... PTL for small favors.

Man, I hope Round2 can find that Westcraft Boat. If they could find the Soap Box Derby racer, there might be some hope for the little boat. But, is it all on one sprue by itself, or were the parts integrated into the sprues for the kit? Well, we can hope. Round2 continues to produce small miracles from their old Tool Banks, when we least expect it.
