Awesome Build! A rolling Chassis is always a work of art. Good Show.

Just Superb re-styling of what was a pretty grody custom. As others have said, it looks like a factory design study now. Good Show.

Yeah, I'm getting real slow loading of pages today. Everything seems to 'hang' before loading.

I think this will be done by Somebody other than Round2/AMT. But, It will get done sometime.

Joe, here is what Scalemates says. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/renwal-152-99-1930-packard-victoria--324171 https://www.scalemates.com/products/img/1/7/1/324171-63-instructions.pdf It appears to be a Packard Victoria Model 745, body by Dietrich

Wow! What Terrific Building Skills!

Looks Great. Keep up the Good Work!

Better than putting a '32 Grille on Everything.

It is IMHO, a pretty lame set up, and all the more dated now. The truck would have looked better with a more Classic Hot Rod Look (Skirts, Multi Carbs, Different wheels) than the Billet, 1990's look it now has. But, I'm glad to see it anyway, as I like the 1960 Chevy Truck.

It has been awhile, but I can also drive the 3 pedal Planetary Transmission in a Model T Ford. Tricky at first, but after a little bit, it becomes second nature. A 1926 T was my daily driver from 1989-1990.

I liked them back in the day, but, they have not aged very well. At least Round2 put in better tires this time.

Everybody has been sick with Covid. Been eating whatever we can find, as nobody wants to cook. At least we did the Big Grocery Shopping the day before we got sick, so the pantry is full. Had take-out pizza tonight, to try to tempt the 5 year old to eat. (He did eat one slice)

Boy, isn't that the Truth!

There used to be an aftermarket company out of Spain, that did a Round Headlight conversion, But I don't know if they are still out there. I found them by searching thru the links at the Rocketfin Car Links website. https://www.rocketfin.com/model_car_links.html You might look there.

Always Nice to see another Landy! You did a great job on yours! Good Show.

Wow! Wish Round2 would bring that back! Great little build! Good Show.

That makes business sense. The Already have a great stock body. The '70 Mustang is a popular kit, and restoring enough parts to get a stock version, would be a good use of tooling dollars (IMHO). Once restored, the kit is a sure fire seller, (All Mustangs are) and can released every few years to make back the costs.

That Monogram/Revell/Aurora Maserati 3500 is a Great looking car. I need to track one down. I built one many years ago when I bought it new from K-Mart in the 1980's. It was fiddly, but fun.

Never Heard of a Cheater Bar.......?

Any more recent news from Revell? Things seem to have gotten quiet lately.

So, Far, I have to say that I have been more than happy with most of the Round2 kits this year. I am getting about 50% of the kits that are coming out. The Funny Cars don't do much for me, but I am really liking the many pickups and older cars. I see the '69 Falcon Mod Stocker is in the pipeline. That is good. My Favorite Subjects have not been done yet, but I have hope that all of them are at least on the Radar, so I just wait to see what happens next. My own list of favorites are not that obscure. All the other '32 Fords. (Esp. the Roadster and Phaeton) The Gen 2 '72-81' Camaros. ( I know, one is in Test Shot Status right now.) The AMT AMC Matadors & Javelins. And I'd Like to see the MPC Stutz Beacat and AMT Thomas Flyer, return. Maybe as a Twin Pack

But, did Aston Martin use a Jaguar Engine? I don't see how this is a solution.

I love Shay Locos. My Favorite of all Steam Power. Beautiful Job, Jeff.

Wow! That is a truly creative Build! Great Use of an Older kit. Good Show.
