Hawaii Five-Oh is great for this too. Some really Odd cars got caught in the background of the chase scenes.

Let Us Hope that the awful BFGs are replaced by something else. Too Bad American Satco is gone. They would have the perfect tires for this kit.

Where the heck do you shop, Bob? I've had problems, but nothing like that. (and I never, ever use the self check outs)

Neat! Looks like a Factory Concept.

Oddly,Mark, WWII Sherman tanks with Air Cooled Radial engines were rated in GPM. On paved road the Sherman gets about 4 Gallons Per Mile. Offroad it can triple.

Tom's famous 'Rusty" Vette! Always great to see pics of it!

It is close enough for Government Work. For a Mad Max build doors don't matter.

The Pics that Daddyfink posted showed the wire bundle. Sadly, those pics are now gone, the links are dead. But they did show a small bundle of yellow wire. I cannot wait for the first kit review. There are a few of these "in the wild" now, so pics should be showing up any day now. I look forward to Tim Boyd's review, knowing how thorough it will be. This kit just looks better. Has anybody seen the photo of Jim Keeler with his new box of these kits? It is on facebook. He looks so proud of his work! I hope somebody could post it and share it here.

I want the Jurassic Park Explorer! Neat kit. Always thought it would be a Bang-Up Mad Max, Post Apocalypse Build.

Yeah, but all it takes is One. He only needs one buyer to successfully raise the bar.

It has been a month. I hope all is well.

What happened with him and what did he do with the non Aoshima tire tooling Count me in as another modeler who'd like an answer to this question.

The MPC Supra might be coming back?!?! Wow! Bring it on! That will be a huge hit, I predict.

Thanks, for sharing your thoughts, Mark. They are well regarded.

I turn 59 today. Suddenly, 67 seems real young... R.I.P. Ray!

So, It has both Grilles, both kinds of taillights, and two wheel options. Only the one hood, but plenty of build versions otherwise, and the small block can be swapped in. Great Kit!

Re: Tailgaters. In the 1990's I was in the MVCC (Military Vehicle Collector Club), with a gentleman who owned a street legal British, Armoured Car. A 1950's Vintage Alvis Saracen. It had tiny, almost invisible turn signal lamps, and was bulky and hard to drive. Strangely though, even in L.A. traffic, he never had problems changing lanes. Notice how far out the wheel hubs protrude. Right about eye level on a Honda Accord or Civic, He'd start to drift right to change lanes, and there was always a hole formed. I'd like to drive this and be tailgated. By the way, it would do 65mph on the freeway. Slow, but adequate.

Roger, those Meng F-350s are a relatively low volume kit from a very pricey manufacturer. They were not really out for long, and thus scarce. I'd count $165.00 to be a great price for that kit.

Beautiful Car, George! What kit has those Hub Caps?

Keyser, and Mark B. Thanks for teaching some new things about my favorite Buick Kit! At least now I know how the Mod Stock kit wound up with Promo Wheels. I've been saving that Intake for a Nailhead Hotrod in a Model A or Deuce kit.

The existance of that kit, is why I suggested other FOMOCO racers, in order to reach more customers. Put Me down for the '64 Mod Stock. The more I think about it, the better I like that combo.

I worked on them for a year. Worst cars to work on, that I have ever touched. Truly misreable cars, with no room, and a company wide case of "Hide the Oil Filter!". No two Bemews (Thanks Ace!) seem to have the Filter in the same place, even when they share an engine. You could not pay me enough to own one.

I wonder if Round2 wound up with this tooling?

I would really enjoy seeing this kit as the tow vehicle part of a new Truck/Trailer/ Racer combo kit. Maybe with the '57 T-Bird in "Here Come De Judge" decals, or the '69 T-bird in "Allison Thunderland" Decals. Or for that matter, the '64 Ford Mod Stock Kit, since the '65 Ford Mod Stock sold so well.

Re: '66 Buick. The engine in the kit is pretty good, actually. The Manifold, Carbs, and Velocity Stacks for the optional 4 pairs of Webber Carbs are still in the kit. A nice set of Promo Style 5 spoke Buick Mags are on the chrome tree too. The have the huge Promo-Style axle bosses on the back. Really weird that they wound up there. Not much else remains in the box though. All of the parts shown in the instruction sheet (FOR THE ENGINE ONLY) are still on the sprues in the box. If Round2 were to bring it back, I would encourage them to leave the huge Racing wheels, and Rolls bars, Skid Plates, Ect in the kit, and use the treaded Steamroller Tires from the old Batmobile Kit, to allow the wheel wheels/fenders to be kit back to still build it as a Dirt Track car. Fix the Body, restore the other original parts, and you would have a true 3'n'1 kit.
