I saw these had come out, I pre-ordered the Brock Bathurst car. I wonder why it hasn't been released at the same time? Hope they haven't hit a licencing issue with the Brock Estate.

I know it's jumping the gun, and there's a ways to go, but I really REALLY hope the educated speculation on a Gone in 60 Seconds version does come to fruition.

That’s the only recommendation I need given your expertise on these cars, really hope all the hints dropped about the Eleanor car come to fruition.

Lots of cool builds, here is my Surf Wagon.

Wow that’s really wild, really different and a really nice build too

This is a really lovely build, just so nice to look at. Great pics.

Man, thanks for sharing this news! I’d bought a resin wheel set (hadn’t found a flat hood) and the AMT ‘73 years ago but it seemed so ordinary it was going to be a waste of resources so I could never get started on it. This is a long term fan’s dream come true! I also have to add that I’ve learned so much about the movie car from your posts Vamach1 (I think that’s what put me off starting the AMT ?)

Stunning work all over, amazing finish, the under hood wires look incredible.

Stunning work! I suspect the inclusion of only one decal may be correct for the Japanese RX-7, I had the same confusion when I restored this vintage Tomica diecast which only features the badge on one side too. ?‍♀️

I hadn't noticed the different pattern on the seats, that's frustrating. The bonnet on my Kingswood is OK as far as I can tell too. Another frustration was no decals for the lion on the hubcaps which look a bit off too. I've had a go at designing some to 3D Print, I'll let you know how they come out.

Thanks lordairgtar, ya just cost me $70 ? Most Round2 kits retail here for $59 - $69 AUD, and $120 odd for a resin kit of an Australian subject previously, it’s not too bad. I’m guessing DDA are doing a ‘Revell’ and engineering their Diecast molds to make these kits. Have ordered the Kingy, hoping they do a Valiant Charger, just stoked to have some Aussie car kits.

Thanks again everyone! I had a dig through my parts bucket and found this left over set from the AMT ‘Gear Hustler’ el Camino, think they’re pretty close! And the price is right to ?

Thanks Mike, should be able to track a set down! Really appreciate everyone’s suggestions and advice thank you. Peter

Thanks tbill, they’re real close, I think they’ll do the trick for me, and it looks like there’s a set of them in the recent fire chief release too.

Thank you Chris I’ll look into those, appreciate the help.
