    So, how soon before there there is a Resin Hood with a Spare Tire dimple? Kit looks awesome.

    Daniel, that is Hands Down the best Monza build I have ever seen, Stance and Colour are perfect! I like the rims too. Way to Go!

    Chris, I recognize the Landmaster and the Brubaker Box, but the rest are unknown to me. Musk's truck looks unfinished, like most of his stuff frankly. His whole life seems to be like the the SouthPark business plan. 1 Big Idea 2 Something, Something, Something 3 Profit His only real Talent appears to be getting Government Subsidies, and keeping people from looking too closely and avoiding giving direct answers to any questions. He is Harold Hill "The Music Man" for the 21st century. He is a friendly, likeable Conman, who has never had to own up to the chaos that he thrives on. I'd have much more respect for him and his business ideas, if he did not take so much as a penny of US Govt Money.

    I had that Revell Super Spyder as a lad. I need to just bite the bullet, and pay for one on eBay. I now know that it is a pretty lousy kit, with a generic "One-Size-Fits-All" Revell Chassis, but at 16, I thought it was the neatest kit ever. AS far as Review, I think the recent Round2 kit was the AMT, with added parts. So, I'd like to see what is in the MPC kits.

    What Ever Works! I'll wind up buying these decals from some guy on eBay who parts kits out.

    Does not look like it. Phoyos are small, though, so hard to tell. https://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/amt-instructions/1-sort/amt-super-stones-fi/?view=roll

    I've got that much space in my warehouse. I'll have to get started.

    The only Three of these kits I'd like to see restored are the Olds, Buick and '64 Galaxie. The Chevies are both Meh kits to start with, and the others just don't have any appeal. Partisans for other kits, will of course disagree with me. And I understand that. But, given a Big Sack O'Money, those are the only ones I'd fool with.

    Yeah, my definition of a "new kit" is one I have never owned. The '59 Imperial fits this. So do the Fuzz Duster and the Pinto Popper. So, bring 'em on! And if it has to have Coke Branding to Sell, then I am all in on that too. If the only way I'm going to get an AMC Matador or Javelin, is for it to be a Coke Tie In, tell me how much Coke I need to buy!!!

    At least, It is a Very Nice Rabbit Hole, Casey.....

    Tony, I don't think that the sales potential of the restored kit, is worth the cost of rebuilding the tool. If you look at what is in the box of most of these Mod Stocker kits, there is almost nothing left of the original. In most cases, even the chrome trees, have been trimmed down to tiny nubs, with just bumpers, grills and wheels. And some times, you don't even get wheels. The '64 Galaxie and '69 Torino kits have un-molested chrome trees. All the others are pretty much skeletal remains.

    Ahhhh... I did not know that.

    I have a couple of these kits started. I need to go back and work on them.

    Talk about a huge,steaming pile of "Meh", that list is the exemplar. If Blitz Partners want to "Move the Metal" that is not gonna do it. Hopefully the list gets a better reaction in Europe.

    Now, That is great news! Enjoy.

    The new Box Art will move some kit, especially the way they are displayed at Hobby Lobby. (which, I'll bet is the point.)
  21. stavanzer
    Mike, I'd guess, harder than it looks.

    Thank You, Tim. That '32 roadster, and the '27 Lincoln roadster would, IMHO, make great choices to 'test the waters' for classic car kits. Sporty, and less imposing than the Touring cars.

    Snake, a Man after my Own Heart! Just leave the Mtn Dew where I set it, and we'll all be okay....... Man, I hate admit it, but I am hooked on the stuff.

    A quik look at my copy of the '66 kit. Rear Axle,Drive Shaft and assorted small rear suspension. Dashboard, Front Roll pan, & Radiator top. Racing Cowl Mount Air Cleaner. Those are about the only 'stock' parts left in the box. Hopefully, Round2 will have opened up any small bits left in the tool. That said, I strongly suspect that Round2 will take the easiest way to release this kit. A straight re-issue, from the 2000-some version, with no changes to either the contents or decals. That is what the box art leads me to believe. However, as these are some of my favorite kits, I'll take the Un-Changed Kit all day long if that is what we get.
